Lyrics of Stagolee (traditional version 2)

Stagolee was a bad man,
Ev'rybody knows.
Spent one hundred dollars
Just to buy him a suit of dothes.

He was a bad man
That mean old stagolee

Stagolee shot billy de lyons
What do you think about that?
Shot him down in cold blood
Because he stole his stetson hat;

He was a bad man
That mean old stagolee

Billy de lyons said, stagolee
Please don't take my life
I've got two little babes
And a darling, loving wife;

You are a bad man
You mean old stagolee.

What do i care about your two little babes,
Your darling loving wife?,
You done stole my stetson hat
I'm bound to take your life;

He was a bad man,
That mean old stagolee.

The judge said, stagolee,
What you doing in here?,
You done shot mr. billy de lyons,
You going to die in the electric chair;

He was a bad man
That mean old stagolee.

Twelve o'clock they killed him
Head reached up high
Last thing that poor boy said,
"my six-shooter never lied."

He was a bad man,
That mean old stagolee.
