Stagolee Lyrics


Woody Guthrie Stagolee


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 BiUy de Lyons What do you think about that? Shot him down in cold blood Because he stole his Stetson hat; He was a bad ma@ 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.
