Original Stack O'Lee Blues - The Down Home Boys
May 1927
D position, standard tuning

Stack O'Lee was a bully, he bullied all his life
Well, he bullied through Chicago town with a ten cent pocket knife
REFRAIN: Let it go, Stack O'Lee

Stack said to Billy, "How can it be?
You arrest a man just as bad as me, but you won't 'rest Stack O'Lee"
REFRAIN

SPOKEN, DURING SOLO: A bad man!

Stack said to Billy, "Don't you take my life.
Well, I ain't got nothin' but two little chirrens and a darlin' lovin' wife."
REFRAIN

"One is a boy and the other 'un is a girl."
"Well, you may see your children again but it'll be in another world."
REFRAIN

Standing on the corner, well, I didn't mean no harm
Well, a policeman caught me, well, he grabbed me by my arm
REFRAIN

Stack O'Lee and Billy had a noble fight
Well, Stack O'Lee killed Billy Lyon with a four dollars pocket knife
REFRAIN

SPOKEN, DURING SOLO: Oh, play it, boys!

Standin' on the hilltop, his dog began to bark
Well, it wasn't nothin' but Stack O'Lee come creeping in the dark
REFRAIN
