He was a bad man, that mean old Stagolee

Stagolee shot Billy de Lyons, what do you think about that
Shot him down in cold blood because he stole his Stetson hat
He was a bad man, that mean old Stagolee

Billy de Lyons said "Stagolee, please don't take my life
I've got two little babies and a darlin' lovin' wife
You're a bad man, you mean old Stagolee

"What do I care about your two little babies, your darlin' lovin' wife?
You done stole my Stetson hat and I'm bound to take your life."
I'm a bad man, I'm mean old Stagolee

The judge said "Stagolee, what you doin' here?
You done shot Mr. Billy de Lyons, you gonna die in the electric chair."
You're a bad man, you mean old Stagolee

12 o'clock they killed him , head reached up high
Last thing that poor boy said "My 6-shooter never lied"
I was a bad man, I was mean old Stagolee
