[00:13.50] Police officer, how can it be?
[00:17.79] You can 'rest everybody but cruel Stack O' Lee
[00:22.29] That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee
[00:38.77] Billy de Lyon told Stack O' Lee, "Please don't take my life
[00:42.91] I got two little babies, and a darlin' lovin' wife"
[00:47.23] That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee
[01:03.67] "What I care about you little babies, your darlin' lovin' wife?
[01:07.54] You done stole my Stetson1 hat, I'm bound to take your life"
[01:11.93] That bad man, cruel Stack O' Lee
[01:16.56] Umm umm umm

[02:06.36] "Gentleman's of the jury, what do you think of that?
[02:10.38] Stack O' Lee killed Billy de Lyon about a five-dollar Stetson hat"
[02:14.79] That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee
[02:30.61] And all they gathered, hands way up high
[02:34.55] At twelve o'clock they killed him, they's all glad to see him die
[02:39.20] That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee
