I remember when I was a little boy, sitting on my mothers' knees
She often taught me the story about that bad man Stagolee
She said son, he was a bad man, he's the baddest man I know
Well he killed Billy Lyons, blue steel forty-four
It was late last night, but I heard my bulldog bark
Stagolee and Billy Lyons quarrelling in the dark
(Incomprehensible) for Billy Lyons all up and down Myron street
Poor boy was bloody from his head down to his feet
Stagolee told Miss Billy Lyons: you don't believe your man is dead
Why don't you look around the corner see what a hole he has in his head
Tom devil he asked his daughter who can this bad man be
Said must've been a bad fella called Stagolee
