[MoreLyrics] Billy de Lyon told Stack O'Lee, "Please don't take my life. I got two little babies, and a darlin' lovin' wife." "What I care about you little babies, your darlin' lovin' wife? You done stole my Stetson hat, I'm bound to take you life." Boom boom, boom boom - with the forty-four. When I spied Billy de Lyon, he was lyin' down on the floor. "Gentlemans of the jury, what do you think of that? Stack O'Lee killed Billy de Lyon about a five-dollar Stetson hat." And all they gathered, hands way up high, At twelve o'clock they killed him, they's all glad to see him die. ************************************ | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | / Slide up | \ Slide down ************************************
