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 Billy De Lyons
What Do You Think About That?
Shot Him Down In Cold Blood
Because He Stole His Stetson Hat;


He Was A Bad Man
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.
