| Champion Jack Dupree |
| Jack Dupree — vocal & piano |

| Stag-o-Lee and Billy Lyons |
| They was gamblin' in the dark |
| Stag-o-Lee told Billy |
| 'Billy Lyons, lets take a walk' |
| Stag-o-Lee, won Billy Lyon’s money |
| And he took Billy Lyon’s Stetson hat |
| Billy Lyons said, 'Stag-o-Lee |
| 'Lord, why’d you do me like that?' |
| Now, Billy Lyons begged Stag-o-Lee |
| Said, 'Please give me back my hat' |
| 'Cause you know you won my money |
| Please don’t take my hat' |
| Now, Billy Lyons said to Stag-o-Lee |
| Said, 'Please, please don’t take my life |
| I’ve got two little children |
| And a po' little homeless wife' |
| (sax & instrumental) |
| Billy Lyons said to Stag-o-Lee |
| 'Why'd you do your friend like that?' |
| Say, 'You won all my money |
| And you took my Stetson hat' |
| Stag-o-Lee shot Billy Lyon |
| And he fell down on his knees |
| He said, 'Lord, have mercy |
| Lord, have mercy if you please |
| Stag-o-Lee run to the corner |
| And he look up and down |
| Said, 'I'd rather see you, Billy |
| Six feet in the ground' |
| Now, the people start to weepin' |
| And some of them begin to moan |
| Ev’rybody was worried |
| 'Bout po' Billy Lyons was gone |
| Te-na, te-na-na |
| Te-na, na-ne-na |
| Te-na, na-na-na |
| Te-na, ne-na, ne-na |
| Say, I want Louis |
| Armstrong and his band |
| To play the blues |
| As they lay my body down |
| I want 10,000 women |
| To be at my buryin' ground. |
