| Lyrics: | STAGOLEE
cho: Stagolee, Stagolee, he's the meanest man in town
When that boy
starts gamblin', better lay your money down
Down in New Orleans where they got that Lyon's
Club
Every step you step you're steppin' in Billy de Lyon's blood
I remember
one September, on a cold and stormy night
Billy de Lyon and Stagolee, Lord, they had a great
big fight
Billy shot a seven, and Stack he said he'd pass
Stack said to Billy de Lyon,
"Brother,
You done shot your last"
The woman asked the sheriff, said "How can this
be?
You got all them bad men, but you can't get Stagolee"
Deputies took their badges and
they laid them on the shelf
"If you want to get that bad man, you get him by
yourself"
Now send for the policemen, a hundred thousand come
Loaded down with
rifles and a great big Gatling gun
On Friday we condemned him, the judge he lowered his
head
On Saturday we hanged him, I was glad to see him dead
