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
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
