Stagolee Songtext
von Eric Bibb

Police officer, how can it be
You can arrest everybody, but cruel Stagolee
Talking about the bad man, Stagolee

Billy de Lyons told Stagolee please don′t take my life
I've got two children and a darling loving wife
Told the bad man oh Stagolee

What I care about your children, darling loving wife
You done stole my fine Stetson and I′m bound to take your life
Said the bad man oh Stagolee

Boom boom, boom boom, went that Forty-four
And then I spied Billy, he was lying on the floor
Talking about that man oh cruel Stagolee


You know, Stagolee shot Billy
Shot that boy so bad
The bullet went through Billy
Broke the bartender's looking glass
What a bad man, talking cruel Satgolee
Talking about that that bad man, oh cruel Stagolee

Gentleman of the jury what you think of that
Stagolee shot Billy 'bout a five dollar hat
Talking about that bad man, oh cruel Stagolee

Standing at the gallows had his head way up high
________ and killed him, was glad to see him die
Talk about the bad man oh cruel Stagolee
Talking about that bad bad bad man, oh cruel Stagolee
