Dr. John - Stack-a-lee lyrics
Your rating:
Stack-a-lee, shut your little eyes You shot that boy. so fast Your bullet went through Billy And broke the bartender's glass Stack-a-lee went around the counter Well he shot Stack, in the side Stack-a-lee went stumbling In his mother's door He said mother, oh mother Won't you turn me, over slow I've been shot in my left side With a police 44 When all the ladies, heard that Stack Oh Stack-a-lee was dead Some came dressed in all his colors Some came dressed in red Oh I said boy now Stack-a lee went to devil To identify poor Billy's soul But the poor boy he was absent He had gone down to shove coal Now the devil heard a rumbling A mighty rumbling, under the ground He said that must be the stud that pointed Billy Upsidedown Now you've seen that old devil On top of the Devil himself Who said you won't miss those bad boys I'll get you, by yourself Now I told you all, my little story I sang you all my little song How Stack-a-lee and Billy lied And now they dead and gone
