Stagolee Lyrics

I was standing by my window
When I heard my bulldog bark
He was barking at the two men that was gambling in the dark
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e97962-old_crow_medicine_show~stagolee_lyrics.html ]
It was Stagolee and Billy
Two men that gambled late
Stagolee threw seven; Billy swore that he threw eight

Stagolee told Billy, "I can't let you go with that"
"You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat"
Stagolee started off goin' down that railroad track
He said "I can't get you Billy but don't be here when I come back"

And Billy Lions sang

Chorus:
Go Stagolee, go Stagolee
Go Stagolee, go Stagolee
I said go, go go Stagolee

Well Stagolee he went home
And he got his forty-four
Said I'm going to the bar just to pay that debt I owe

When Stagolee got to the barroom
You know he stood across the barroom door
And said nobody move and he pulled out his big forty-four

And all the people sang

(Chorus)

Well Stagolee shot Billy
You know he shot that boy so bad
That the bullet went through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass

And when all the ladies heard that sweet Billy Lions was dead
Well some come dressed in yellow and some come dressed in red

And all the --- sang

(Chorus)
