Stack O Lee, he was a bad man
Everybody knows
Spent one hundred dollars
Just to buy his gal a suit of clothes
He's a bad man, that mean old Stack O Lee
Stack O Lee shot Billy DeLyon
What do you think about that?
Shot him down in cold blood
Because he stole his Stetson hat
He's a bad man, that mean old Stack O Lee
Billy DeLyon said Stack O Lee
Please don't take my life
I got two little babies
And a darlin' lovin' wife
He's a bad man, that mean old Stack O Lee
What I care about your two little babies
And your darlin' lovin' wife?
You done stole my Stetson hat
I'm bound to take your life
He's a bad man, that mean old Stack O Lee
