Stackolee

Stackolee - Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思裏)

Written by：Trad., Guthrie

Stackolee was a bad man everybody knows

Spent a hundred dollars for just one suit of clothes

He was a bad man that mean old Stackolee

It was in a hustling b-joint where the Mississippi run

Stackolee killed Billy DeLyons with a smoking forty-one

He was a bad man that mean old Stackolee

Billy said to Stackolee "Please don't take my life

I've got three little babes and a darling loving wife

You're a bad man your name is Stackolee"

"What do I care about your two little babes your darling loving wife

You done stole my brand new hat and I'm bound to take your life

You're a bad man and my name is Stackolee"

The judge said "Mr Stackolee Mr Stackole

I'm gonna hang your body up and set your spirit free

Cos you're a bad man your name is Stackolee"

Stackolee on his gallis his head way up high

Twelve o'clock we killed him was all glad to see him die

He was a bad man that mean old Stackolee

Stackolee on his gallis his head way up high

Twelve o'clock we killed him was all glad to see him die

He was a bad man that mean old Stackolee
