Stack-O-Lee

歌詞

Stack-O-Lee and Billy Lyon They were gamblin' in the dark Stack-O-Lee told Billy "Billy Lyon let's take a walk" Stack-O-Lee won Billy Lyon money And he took Billy Lyon's Stetson hat Billy Lion said, "Stack-O-Lee Lord why do you do me like that? " Now Billy Lyon begged Stack-O-Lee Said, "Please give me back my hat 'Cause you know you won my money Please don't take my hat" Now Billy Lyon said to Stack-O-Lee Said, "Please, please don't take my life I got two little children And a poor little homeless wife" Billy Lyon said to Stack-O-Lee, "Would you do your friend like that?" Said, "You won all my money And you took my stetson hat" Stack-O-Lee shot Billy Lyon And he fell down on his knees He said, "Lord have mercy Lord have mercy if you please" Stack-O-Lee run to the corner And he look up and down Said, "I'd rather see you Billy Six feet in the ground" Now the people start to weepin' And some of them begin to moan Everybody was worried 'Bout poor Billy Lyon was gone Teena teena na, teena na ni na Teena na na, teena ni na ni na Say I want Louis Armstrong and his band To play the blues As they lay my body down I want ten thousand women To be at my buryin' ground
