a new (to me) Stackolee / Staggolee / Stagger Lee song. 

Josh Ritter - Folk Bloodbath




The judge was a mean one, his name was “Hangin’ Billy Lyons
He said, “You’ve always been a bad man, Stack, you’re gonna hang this time”
The angels laid him away
And the jailer said to Stackalee, “What’s the problem with you?”
“Oh, jailer, Louis Collins ghost brought Delia’s with him too”
The angels laid him away
