[00:12.88] It was early, early one morning
[00:15.54] When i heard my bulldog bark,
[00:18.66] T'was staggolee and billy delyon
[00:21.99] Squabbling in the dark.
[00:25.27] Staggolee told billy delyon
[00:28.00] “what do you think of that?
[00:31.00] You win all my money, lord!
[00:33.38] You spit in my stetson hat"
[00:37.41] Staggolee were walking
[00:40.09] In the red hot brawling sun,
[00:43.15] Says: “bring me my six-shooter,
[00:46.28] Lord i wants my fourty-one"
[00:49.66] Staggolee were walking
[00:52.72] Through the mud and through the sand
[00:55.60] Says: “i feel mistreated this morning,
[00:58.36] I could kill most any man"
[01:02.04] Billy delyons told staggolee:
[01:05.01] “please don't take my life,
[01:07.78] I got three helpless children,
[01:10.69] One poor, beautiful wife"
[01:13.77] “i don't care nothing ‘bout your children
[01:16.89] And nothing about your wife
[01:19.87] You done mistreated me, billy,
[01:22.79] And i'm bound to take your life".
[01:26.39] He shot him three times in the shoulder, lord,
[01:29.18] He shot him three times in the side.
[01:32.30] Well, the last time he shot him
[01:35.17] Caused billy lyons to die.
[01:38.64] Staggolee told mrs. billy:
[01:41.37] “you don't believe your man is dead?
[01:44.40] Come on into the barroom,
[01:47.41] See the hole i shot in his head!"
[01:50.81] The high-sheriff told the deputies:
[01:53.52] “get your pistols and come with me!
[01:56.64] We got to go'n arrest the bad man
[01:59.87] Known as staggolee"
[02:03.20] The deputies took their pistols
[02:06.06] They laid them on the shelf,
[02:08.98] “if you want that bad man staggolee
[02:12.05] You have to arrest him yourself!"
[02:15.28] The high-sheriff asked the bartender
[02:17.95] “who can that bad man be?"
[02:21.22] “speak softly!?, said the bartender,
[02:24.40] “that bad man's staggolee"
[02:27.26] He touched old stag on the shoulder,
[02:30.34] “say, stag, why do you run?"
[02:33.31] “i don't run, white folk,
[02:36.31] When i got my fourty-one"
[02:39.74] The hangman put the mask on,
[02:42.56] Tied his hands behind his back,
[02:45.54] Sprung the trap on staggolee,
[02:48.62] But his neck refused to crack.
[02:52.00] The hangman, he got frightened,
[02:54.71] Said: “chief, you see how it be,
[02:57.57] I can't hang this man, lord,
[03:01.14] You better set him free"
[03:04.22] Three-hundred dollar funeral,
[03:07.18] Thousand dollar hearse,
[03:09.91] Satisfaction! “undertaker,
[03:13.03] Put stag on down in the earth!"
[03:16.35] Staggolee told the devil:
[03:19.04] “say, come on and have some fun!
[03:22.01] You stick me with your pitchfork,
[03:24.88] And i'll shoot you with my fourty-one"
[03:28.42] Staggolee took the pitchfork
[03:31.13] And he laid it on a shelf,
[03:34.10] He says: “stand back, tom devil, lord,
[03:37.03] I'm gonna rule hell by myself."
[00:12.88] It was early, early one morning
