Billy Lyons and Stack O'Lee

Billy Lyons and Stack O'Lee - Furry Lewis

I remember one September on one Friday night

Stack O'Lee and Billy Lyons had a great fight

Cryin'when you lose your money learn to lose

Billy Lyons shot six bits Stack O'Lee bet he'd pass

Stack O'Lee out with his forty-five

Said you done shot your last

When you lose your money learn to lose

Lord a woman come a-running fell down on her knees

Cryin'Oh Mr Stack O'Lee don't shoot my brother please

When you lose your money

I ain't talking about some gambler ought to see Richard Lee

Shot one thousand dollars and come out on a three

Cryin'when you lose your money learn to lose

Lord the judge told the sheriff

We want him dead or alive

How in the world can we bring him in

When he's totin'a forty-five

When you lose your money learn to lose

Lord the woman told the judge my husband's name Jack Shep

Wanna arrest po'Stack O'Lee better go somewhere else

When you lose your money learn to lose
