Stagolee he's a big bad man and he's gonna do you wrong
|
Now they say he shot his own sweet wife 'cause she cooked his eggs too long
|
Then Stagolee he gave the devil his soul and the devil he gave him his hat
|
He said "Ain't no-one can do you no harm just as long as you're wearing that"
|
|
Stagolee went to the police station he told that deal that'd gone down
|
He gave the police a dollar a piece and an hour to get out of town
|
What you gonna do about Stagolee, what you gonna do about that
|
You know that boy won't never die just as long as he's wearing that hat
|
|
Stagolee does any damn thing he choose
|
If you go against him you know you've got to lose
|
In everybody's pocket, in every ladies bed
|
Long as he got that spooky old hat sittin' on top of his head
|
|
Stagolee put on his brand new hat, took his gal for a ride
|
Get out of the way you chippies and chumps the devil is on my side
|
Stagolee went to the sporting house locked it with a key
|
Said "All you whores don't you open your doors by nobody else but me"
|
|
Stagolee does any damn thing he choose
|
If you go against him you know you gotta lose
|
In everybody's pocket, in every ladies bed
|
With that spooky old devil's hat sittin' right up on top of his head
|
|
All the girls love Stagolee but Suzy loved him the best
|
She told him to lay right down and take himself some rest
|
Stagolee took off his big black boots, took off his long black tie
|
But I won't take off my big black hat 'cause I ain't about to die
|
|
Suzy snuggled up to Stagolee, lift'd the hat right off of his head
|
And up she come with the gattling-gun and shot that poor boy dead
|
Stagolee went down to the devil, devil he sat and smiled
|
Said "Boy you went and a lost your hat now you're gonna fry awhile"
|
|
Stagolee does any damn thing he choose
|
If you go against him you know you gotta lose
|
In everybody's pocket, in every ladies bed
|
With that spooky old devil's hat sittin' right up on the top of his head
