[Verse]
DStackolee was a bad man, everybody knows
GSpent a hundred dollars for just one suit oDf clothes
He Awas a bad man, that mean old StackoleDe
DStackolee loaded cotton, weighed five hundred pounds
Carried along a Gatling gun, that drug him to the ground
He Awas a bad man, that mean old StackoleDe
DIt was in a hustling b-joint where the Mississippi run
GStackolee killed Billy de Lyons with a smokDing forty-one
He Awas a bad man, that mean old StackoleDe
DThe high sheriff asked the deputy, "How can it be
GYou can arrest everybody, but the mean old DStackolee?
He'As a bad man, that mean old Stackolee.D"
[Verse]
DAnd the deputy told the new sheriff, "Double up my fee
GAnd I'll go get that outlaw, by the name ofD Stackolee
'CaAuse he's a bad man, that mean old StaDckolee."
DGentlemen of the jury, what do you think about that?
GStackolee killed Billy de Lyons about a fivDe dollar Stetson hat
He Awas a bad man, that mean old StackoleDe
DBilly was in the card house and kneeling on the floor
GStackolee pulled the trigger of his red-hotD forty-four
He Awas a bad man, that mean old StackoleDe
DBilly said to Stackolee, "Please don't take my life
GI've got three little babes and a darling lDoving wife
YouA're a bad man, your name is StackoleeD"
[Verse]
D"What do I care about your two little babes, your darling loving wife?
GYou done stole my brand new hat and I'm bouDnd to take your life
'Cause you're a bad man, and my name is Stackolee"
DBilly died in the sawdust, with his head upon the rail
GDeputy took old Stackolee and he marched hiDm off to jail
He Awas a bad man, that mean old StackoleDe
DThe judge said, "Mr. Stackolee, Mr. Stackolee
GI'm gonna hang your body up and set your spDirit free
'CaAuse you're a bad man, your name is StDackolee"
DStackolee on his gallows, his head way up high
GTwelve o'clock we killed him, was all glad Dto see him die
He Awas a bad man, that mean old StackoleDe
He Awas a bad man, that mean old StackoleDe
