Stack O; Lee |
Police officer, how can it be? |
You can 'rest everybody but cruel Stack O' Lee |
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee |
Billy de Lyon told Stack O' Lee, «Please don’t take my life |
I got two little babies, and a darlin' lovin' wife» |
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee |
«What I care about you little babies, your darlin' lovin' wife? |
You done stole my Stetson |
Hat, I’m bound to take your life» |
That bad man, cruel Stack O' Lee |
…With the forty-four |
When I spied Billy de Lyon, he was lyin' down on the floor |
That bad man, oh cruel Stack O' Lee |
«Gentleman's of the jury, what do you think of that? |
Stack O' Lee killed Billy de Lyon about a five-dollar Stetson hat» |
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee |
And all they gathered, hands way up high |
At twelve o’clock they killed him, they’s all glad to see him die |
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee |
