Stackalee - Frank Hutchison

Hawlin Alley one dark and drizzly night

Billy Lyons and Stack-A-Lee had one terrible fight

All about that John B Stetson Hat

Stack-A-Lee walked to the barroom

And he called for a glass of beer

It turned around to Billy Lyons

Said What are you doing here

Waitin' for a train to bring my woman home

Stack-A-Lee oh Stack-A-Lee

Please don't take my life

I've got three little children and a weepin'

Loving wife

You're a bad man

Bad man Stack-A-Lee

God bless your children

And I'll take care of your wife

You stole my John B

Now I'm bound to take your life

All about that John B Stetson Hat

Stack-A-Lee turned to Billy Lyons

And shot him right through the head

Only taking one shot to kill Billy Lyons dead

All about that John B Stetson Hat

Sent for the doctor

Well the doctor he did come

Just pointed out Stack-A-Lee

Now what have you done

You're a bad man bad man Stack-A-Lee

Six big horses and a rubber tired hack

Taking him to the cemetery

But they failed to bring him back

All about that John B Stetson Hat

Hawlin Alley thought I heard the bulldogs bark

It must have been old Stack-A-Lee

Stumbling in the dark

He's a bad man gonna land him right back in jail

High police walked on to Stack-A-Lee

He was lying fast asleep

High police catched Stack-A-Lee

And he jumped forty feet

He's a bad man gonna land him right back in jail

They got old Stack-A-Lee

And they led him right back in jail

Couldn't get a man around to go Stack-A-Lee's bail

All about that John B Stetson Hat

Stack-A-Lee said to the jailer Jailer

I can't sleep

'Round my bedside Billy Lyons begin to creep

All about that John B Stetson Hat
