mississippi john hurt - stackolee (alternate version) (l.o.c. recordings) lyrics

Loading...

police officer, how can it be
you can ‘rrest everybody but cruel stackolee?
that bad man, oh cruel stackolee

billy, says i, told stackolee, “please don’t take my life”
says, “i got two little babes and a darlin’ lovin’ wife”
that bad man, oh cruel stackolee

“what i care about your two little babes, your darlin’ lovin’ wife?”
says, “you done stole my suds and hat; i’m bound to take your life”
that bad man, oh cruel stackolee
boom boom, boom boom, went a .44
when i spied poor billy [?], he lied down in the floor
that bad man, oh cruel stackolee

[humming]

gentlemans of the jury, says, “what you think of that?”
says, “stackolee k!lled billy [?] ’bout a five+dollar stetson hat”
that bad man, oh cruel stackolee

standing on the gallows, stackolee did curse
the judgе said, “let’s k!ll him, before hе k!lls some of us”
that bad man, oh cruel stackolee

standin’ on the gallows, head well high
at twelve o’clock they k!lled him, they’s all glad to see him die
that bad man, oh cruel stackolee

i said, “police officer, how can it be
you can ‘rrest everybody but cruel stackolee?”
that bad man, oh cruel stackolee
