Champion Jack Dupree - Stack-o-lee lyrics

Stag-o-Lee and Billy Lyons They was gamblin' in the dark Stag-o-Lee told Billy 'Billy Lyons, lets take a walk' Stag-o-Lee, won Billy Lyon's money And he took Billy Lyon's Stetson hat Billy Lyons said, 'Stag-o-Lee 'Lord, why'd you do me like that?' Now, Billy Lyons begged Stag-o-Lee Said, 'Please give me back my hat' 'Cause you know you won my money Please don't take my hat' Now, Billy Lyons said to Stag-o-Lee Said, 'Please, please don't take my life I've got two little children And a po' little homeless wife' (sax & instrumental) Billy Lyons said to Stag-o-Lee 'Why'd you do your friend like that?' Say, 'You won all my money And you took my Stetson hat' Stag-o-Lee shot Billy Lyon And he fell down on his knees He said, 'Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy, if you please Stag-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 Ev'rybody was worried 'Bout po' Billy Lyons was gone Te-na, te-na-na Te-na, na-ne-na Te-na, na-na-na Te-na, ne-na, ne-na Say, I want Louis Armstrong and his band To play the blues As they lay my body down I want 10,000 women To be at my buryin' ground. ~
