Dr. John lyrics : "Stack-A-Lee"

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
