Stagolee Professor Longhair's version
[E]It was early early one mornin' Boys I [A]heard that fool dog bark He was [E]barkin' at the two men Who were [B7]gamblin in the [E]dark [B7]
[E]It was Stagolee & Billy Lion Boys, they were [A]gamblin that early day Yeah, they [E]tossed up that seven Billy [B7]Lion told him the easy [E]way [B7]
Stagolee lost all his money Lost his new cadilac He said I believe your cheatin' Don't be here when I get back
Stagolee went home & he knocked up on his woman's door He said wake up little Bertha baby & hand me my forty-four
You know Bertha rose out of bed screamin She was lookin him dead smack in the eye She said come on in honey I can see some poor man's gonna die
Then Stagolee told Bertha That he had lost his new cadilic But he believed Billy was cheatin & she knew he wouldn't go for that
Stagolee went back on the corner & stood up in the barroom door & he said don't nobody move Cuz I got me my forty-four
Stagolee cried Billy & he shot the poor boy so fast The bullet went through Billy & it broke the bartenders glass
Then Billy Lion started screamin I heard him say Stagolee don't take my life You know I got two little children & a poor little old sickly wife
Stagolee told Billy Yeah I know you got a cute little boy & girl If you want to see your family billy You'll have to meet 'em in another world
