Текст песни Stagolee - Eric Bibb

Billy Lyons told Stagolee, "Please don't take my life
I've got two little children and a darling loving wife"
He told the bad man, oh Stagolee

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

Boom boom, boom boom, went that .44
And then I spied Billy, he was lying on the floor
Talkin' 'bout that bad man
Oh, cruel Stagolee

You know, Stagolee shot Billy
Shot that boy so bad
The bullet went through Billy
It broke the bartender's looking glass
Talking 'bout a bad man
Talking cruel Satgolee

Gentleman of the jury, what you think of that?
Stagolee shot Billy about a five dollar Stetson hat
He knew that was a bad man
Talkin' cruel Stagolee

Hah, standing at the gallows, had his head way up high
12 o'clock they killed him, folks glad to see him die
I'm talkin' about the bad man
Oh, cruel Stagolee
Talking about that bad man
Cruel Stagolee
