《Stagolee (Live)》歌词

[00:04:16] Stagolee (Live) - Mississippi John Hurt

[00:04:16] Stagolee was a bad man

[00:04:16] They go down in a coal mine one night

[00:04:16] Robbed a coal mine

[00:04:16] They's gambling down there

[00:04:16] And they placed themselves just like they wanted to be

[00:04:16] So they wouldn't hit each other when they was shooting

[00:04:16] Money lying all over the floor

[00:04:16] There was one bad guy down there he thought he was

[00:04:16] That was Billy De Lyon

[00:04:16] So he had a big 45 laying down by the side of him

[00:04:16] When they got placed, why, Stagolee spoke to him

[00:04:16] He says, "Boys, look at the money lying down here on the floor"

[00:04:16] Says, "What would we do if old Stagolee and them was to walk in here?"

[00:04:16] This guy picked up his 45 he says

[00:04:16] "I wouldn't make a bit of difference"

[00:04:16] Says, "Stag's gun won't shoot a bit harder than this one"

[00:04:16] About that time, Stag knocked his hat off

[00:04:16] And his partner, taking care of the rest

[00:04:16] When he knocked his hat off he

[00:04:16] He kind of remembered that was Stagolee

[00:04:16] And he commenced begging like this

[00:04:16] Policin' officer, how can it be?

[00:04:16] You can 'rest everybody but cruel Stagolee

[00:04:16] That bad man, oh, cruel Stagolee

[00:04:16] He said, "Stagolee, Stagolee, please don't take my life"

[00:04:16] Says, "I got two little babies, and a darlin' lovin' wife"

[00:04:16] He's a bad man, oh, cruel Stagolee

[00:04:16] Here's the answer Stagolee gave him

[00:04:16] What I care about your two little babies, darlin' lovin' wife?

[00:04:16] Says, "You done stole my Stetson hat, I'm bound to take your life"

[00:04:16] It's a magic hat, oh, cruel Stagolee

[00:04:16] Boom, boom, boom, boom, with a forty-four

[00:04:16] When I spied poor Billy De Lyon, he is lyin' down on the floor

[00:04:16] That bad man, oh cruel Stagolee

[00:04:16] Gentleman of the jury, what you think o' that?

[00:04:16] Says, "Stagolee killed Billy de Lyon about a five-dollar Stetson hat"

[00:04:16] He's a bad man, oh, cruel Stagolee

[00:04:16] Standing on the gallows, Stagolee did curse

[00:04:16] The Judge said, "Let's kill him, for he killed some of us"

[00:04:16] He's a bad man, oh, cruel Stagolee

[00:04:16] Standing on the gallows, his head was way up high

[00:04:16] At twelve o'clock they killed him, they's all glad to see him die

[00:04:16] He's a bad man, oh, cruel Stagolee

[00:04:16] Policin' officer, how can it be?

[00:04:16] You can 'rest everybody but cruel Stagolee

[00:04:16] That bad man, oh, cruel Stagolee
