Stack & Billy

I was standing on a corner, I thought I heard a bulldog bark

It was Stacker Lee and Billy, arguing in the dark

Stacker Lee told Billy, "You killed my best friend Jack"

If you want to go on living, don't be here when I get back



Billy asked Stacker Lee not to take his life

He got three little children and a poor little helpless wife

Stacker Lee told Billy "I'll let you go with that

But give me back my money and my brand new Stetson hat"
