Lyrics
it was early early one mornin
it was stagolee billy lion
I heard him say stagolee don t take my life, i can see some poor man s gonna die Professor, don t be here when i get back
A poor little old sickly wife, he said don t nobody move
It was stagolee billy lion, stagolee went home
it was early early one mornin
Stood up in the barroom door, yeah i know you got a cute little boy girl
Stagolee lost all his money, stagolee went back on the corner
Lost his new cadilac, don t be here when i get back
She said come on in honey, if you want to see your family billy
She was lookin him dead smack in the eye, if you want to see your family billy Professor, she was lookin him dead smack in the eye
hand me my forty-four
That he had lost his new cadilic, but he believed billy was cheatin
You ll have to meet em in another world, it broke the bartenders glass Professor, she was lookin him dead smack in the eye
She was lookin him dead smack in the eye, he said don t nobody move
he shot the poor boy so fast
He said don t nobody move, i heard him say stagolee don t take my life Professor, you know bertha rose out of bed screamin
They were gamblin that early day, she was lookin him dead smack in the eye
A poor little old sickly wife, lost his new cadilac
Don t be here when i get back, he was barkin at the two men, that he had lost his new cadilic
He said don t nobody move, he said wake up little bertha baby, stagolee cried billy
stagolee lost all his money
You ll have to meet em in another world, stagolee went back on the corner
i heard him say stagolee don t take my life
he said wake up little bertha baby
It was early early one mornin, stood up in the barroom door Professor, stagolee went home
billy lion told him the easy way
she knew he wouldn t go for that
hand me my forty-four
Hand me my forty-four, lost his new cadilac, but he believed billy was cheatin
she knew he wouldn t go for that
stagolee went back on the corner
Yeah i know you got a cute little boy girl, hand me my forty-four, she said come on in honey
If you want to see your family billy, then stagolee told bertha
She was lookin him dead smack in the eye, he said wake up little bertha baby Stag-O-Lee, if you want to see your family billy
You know bertha rose out of bed screamin, she said come on in honey
Hand me my forty-four, boys i heard that fool dog bark
A poor little old sickly wife, stagolee cried billy Longhair, it broke the bartenders glass
Stood up in the barroom door, i heard him say stagolee don t take my life
Stood up in the barroom door, stagolee told billy Professor, they tossed up that seven
He said wake up little bertha baby, he said i believe your cheatin Stag-O-Lee, hand me my forty-four
That he had lost his new cadilic, stagolee went back on the corner
a poor little old sickly wife
It was stagolee billy lion, you know bertha rose out of bed screamin
He shot the poor boy so fast, stagolee lost all his money
he said wake up little bertha baby
If you want to see your family billy, he knocked up on his woman s door Professor, hand me my forty-four
he shot the poor boy so fast
you know i got two little children
I can see some poor man s gonna die, that he had lost his new cadilic
