Stack O' Lee - Mississippi John Hurt
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 Stetson1 hat
I'm bound to take your life'
That bad man oh 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
