I remember one
September on a Friday night
Stack O' Lee and Billy Lyons
had a great big fight
He's a bad man, cruel Stack O 'Lee
You may talk about your gamblers,
should see old Richard leave
Shot a hundred dollars,
come out on a three
He's a bad man, cruel Stack O 'Lee
Stack, he says to Billy,
you can't play like that
You want all my money now,
you want my stets and hats
You're a bad man,
cruel Stack O' Lee
Well, Billy, he shot six bits,
Stacky bet he passed,
Stacky Owl is forty -five,
He says, you done shot your last,
He's a bad man, cruel Stock -O -Lee
Oh, Mr. Stock -O -Lee,
please don't take my life
I've got three children
and a darling loving wife
You're a bad man, cruel Stock -O -Lee
Well, God'll take care of your children
And I'll take care of your wife
You done took my Stetson hat
I'm gonna take your life,
you're a bad man
Then a woman come runnin',
fell upon her knees
Oh, Mr. Stack -o -lee,
don't shoot my brother, please
You're a bad man,
cruel Stack -o -lee
Then a woman said to the sheriff,
how can this be?
You arrest everybody,
but you scared off
Stackely, he's a bad man
The judge, said to the sheriff,
I want him dead or alive
How in the hell can I bring him in?
He totes a forty -five,
he's a bad man, cruel
Stack -O -Leaf
Stack, he said to the jailer,
jailer, I can't sleep
All around my bedside,
Billy Lyons begins to creep
He's a bad man, cruel Stack -O -Leaf
Two o 'clock next Tuesday,
on a scaffold high
People coming from miles around,
just watch old Stackley die
He's a bad man,
cruel Stackley
Now way down in New Orleans,
there's a place called Lion's Club
Every step you step,
you're steppin' in a
Billy Lion's blood
He's a bad man, that cruel, staggled
E, yes, a bad man
