Lyrics
Stack-O-Lee shot Billy Lyons
Oh, he shot that boy so fast
The bullet went through Billy
And broke the bartender's glass
Stack-O-Lee went 'round the corner
When he shot old Stack in his side
Stack-O-Lee went stumblin' in his mother's door
He said, "Mother, oh, mother
Won't you turn me over slow
I've been jabbed in my left side
With a police .44"
Now, when all the ladies heard
That old Stack-O-Lee was dead
Some come dressed in orange color
Some come dressed in red, oh yeah
Now, Stack-O-Lee went to the devil
To identify poor Billy's soul
But the poor boy was absent
He had gone down to shine gold
Now, when the devil heard a rumblin'
A rumblin' way under the ground
He said, "That must be Mr. Stack
Turnin' Billy upside down"
Now, it seems that old devil
On top of his devil chair
He said, "If you want old Stack
You're gonna get him by yourself"
Now, I done told y'all my little story
I done sang y'all my little song
'Bout Stack-O-Lee and Billy Lyons
And they both dead and gone
(Go, Stack-O-Lee)
(Go, Stack-O-Lee)
(Go, Stack-O-Lee)
(Go, go, go, go)
(Go, Stack-O-Lee)
(Go, Stack-O-Lee)
(Go, Stack-O-Lee)
(Go, go, go, go)
(Go, Stack-O-Lee)
(Go, Stack-O-Lee)
(Go, Stack-O-Lee)
I love you, thank y'all
