Stack O`lee Blues — текст песни (Hurt Mississippi John)

Police officer, how can it be?
You can `rest everybody but cruel Stack O` Lee
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O` Lee
Billy de Lyon told Stack O` Lee, Please don`t take my life,
I got two little babies, and a darlin` lovin` wife
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O` Lee
What I care about you little babies, your darlin` lovin` wife?
You done stole my Stetson1 hat, I`m bound to take your life
That bad man, cruel Stack O` Lee
...with the forty-four
When I spied Billy de Lyon, he was lyin` down on the floor
That bad man, oh cruel Stack O` Lee
Gentleman`s of the jury, what do you think of that?
Stack O` Lee killed Billy de Lyon about a five-dollar Stetson hat
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O` Lee
And all they gathered, hands way up high,
at twelve o`clock they killed him, they`s all glad to see him die
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O` Lee
