Lyrics
Police officer, how can it be? You can arrest everybody but cruel Stagolee That bad man, cruel Stagolee Billy Lyons told Stagolee, "Please don't take my life I got two baby children and a darling, loving wife" That bad man, cruel Stagolee "Would I care about your two babes and darling, loving wife? You done stole my Stetson hat, I'm bound to take your life." That bad man, cruel Stagolee Stagolee stood on the gallows, head way up high Twelve o'clock, they killed him, we were all glad to see him die That bad man, cruel Stagolee
