Pete Seeger - Stagger Lee

Текст песни

Stagolee was a bad man, everybody knows\nSpent a hundred dollars just to buy him a suit of clothes\nHe was a bad man, that mean ol' Stagolee\nStagolee shot Billy the Lion, what do you think about that?\nShot him down in cold blood 'cause he stole his Stetson hat\nHe was a bad man, that mean ol' Stagolee\nWell Billy the Lion said «Stagolee, please don’t take my life\nI got a two little babes and a darlin' loving' wife\nYou’re a bad man, you mean old Stagolee»\n«What do I care about your two\nLittle babes, your darlin' loving' wife?\nYou done stole my Stetson hat, I’m bound to take your life\nI’m a bad man, my name is Stagolee»\nThe Judge said «Stagolee, what you doin' in here?\nYou done shot mister Billy the Lion\nYou’r gonna die in the elctric chair\nYou’re a bad man, you mean old Stagolee.»\nWell at twelve o’clock they killed him\nHead raised up high\nLast thing that poor boy said was\n«My six-shooter never lied»\nHe was a bad man, that mean old Stagolee\nStagolee was a bad man, everybody knows\nSpent a hundred dollars just to buy him a suit of clothes\nHe was a bad man, that mean ol' Stagolee
