stack-o-lee - the journeymen lyrics

Loading...

if you go down to new orleans
don’t you go to the lyons club
’cause you’ll step, step, step, you’re steppin’ in
you’ll step in billy lyons’s blood
steppin’ into lyons’s blood

stack-o-lee’s a mean old man
everybody knows
he shot billy de lyons just to get his clothes
he’s a mean old stack-o-lee

well, billy said to stack-o-lee
“don’tcha take my life!
i got two little babies and a darling of a wife
you’re a mean old stack-o-lee!”

“now what do i care ’bout your two little babes?
and your darling of a wife?
you done thrown in my stepson hat and i’m bound to take your life!
and my name is stack-o-lee!”

if you go down to new orleans
don’t you go to the lyons club
’cause you’ll step, step, step, you’re steppin’ in
you’ll step in billy lyons’s blood
mean old stack-o-lee

stack-o-lee and billy de lyons
they was fightin’ on the floor
stack-o-lee pulled that trigger
of that smokless forty-four – poor boy!
his name was stack-o-lee

judge and the jury said
“mr. stack-o-lee
we’re gonna hang your body up and set your spirit free
your name is stack-o-lee!”

standing on his gallows
head held way up high
12 ‘o clock we hung him
well, i was glad to see him die!

if you go down to new orleans
don’t you go to the lyons club
’cause every step, step, step, you’re steppin’ in
you’ll step in billy lyons’s blood
his name was stack-o-lee
well, i was glad to see him die!
