Lyrics
Stagolee was a bad man, everybody knows
Spent a hundred dollars just to
Buy him a suit of clothes
He was a bad man, that mean ol' Stagolee

Stagolee shot Billy the Lion
What do you think about that?
Shot him down in cold blood 'cause
He stole his Stetson hat
He was a bad man, that mean ol' Stagolee

Well Billy the Lion said "Stagolee
Please don't take my life
I got a two little babes
And a darlin' loving' wife
You're a bad man, you mean old Stagolee"
"What do I care about your two
Little babes, your darlin' loving' wife?
You done stole my Stetson hat
I'm bound to take your life
I'm a bad man, my name is Stagolee"

The Judge said "Stagolee
What you doin' in here?
You done shot mister Billy the Lion
You'rе gonna die in the elеctric chair
You're a bad man, you mean old Stagolee"

Well at twelve o'clock they killed him
Head raised up high
Last thing that poor boy said was
"My six-shooter never lied"
He was a bad man, that mean old Stagolee

Stagolee was a bad man, everybody knows
Spent a hundred dollars just to buy
Him a suit of clothes
He was a bad man, that mean ol' Stagolee
