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 |
