Lyrics:

Deputy Sheriff, deputy Sheriff, how can it be
You'd arrest everybody but cruel Stagolee
He was a bad man, cruel Stagolee
Stagolee, Stagolee
Please don't take my life
I've got two little children
And a darling loving wife
He was a bad man, cruel Stagolee
What I care about your two little babes
Or your darling loving wife?
You done stole my Stetson hat
Bound to take your life
He was a bad man, cruel Stagolee
Stagolee shot Billy the Lyons
Shot him three or four times
Lord the last time he shot that boy
He dropped his head and died
He was a bad man, cruel Stagolee
Standing on the gallows
Head way up high
Twelve o'clock they killed that boy
We were all glad to see him die
He was a bad man cruel Stagolee
