Stackalee
I remember when I was a little boy sitting on my mommy's knee
She often told me the story of that bad man Stack Alee
She said son he was a bad man he was a bad man I know
Well he shot Billy Lyons with a blue steel Forty four
It was late last night thought I heard my bulldog bark
Stack Alee and Billy Lyons they were squabbling in the dark
He said roll me, roll me baby, won't you roll me over a stone
I've been shot through the head with a blue steel Forty Four
Tom devil he asked his daughter who can this bad man be
She said Daddy it must be the bad man they call Mister Stack Alee
Keep fooling with me woman, I'm gonna do like Stack Alee
Stack Alee
She often told me the story of that bad man Stack Alee

He said roll me, roll me baby, won't you roll me over a stone
I've been shot through the head with a blue steel Forty Four
Tom devil he asked his daughter who can this bad man be
She said Daddy it must be the bad man they call Mister Stack Alee
Keep fooling with me woman, I'm gonna do like Stack Alee
Stack Alee
