Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show Stagolee Lyrics:
(Silverstein/Taylor)

Stagolee he's a big bad man and he's gonna do you
wrong Now they say he shot his own sweet wife
'cause she cooked his eggs too long Then Stagolee
he gave the devil his soul and the devil he gave
him his hat He said "Ain't no-one can do you
no harm just as long as you're wearing that"

Stagolee went to the police station he told that
deal that'd gone down He gave the police a dollar
a piece and an hour to get out of town What you
gonna do about Stagolee, what you gonna do about
that You know that boy won't never die just as
long as he's wearing that hat

Stagolee does any damn thing he choose If you go
against him you know you've got to lose In
everybody's pocket, in every ladies bed Long as he
got that spooky old hat sittin' on top of his head

Stagolee put on his brand new hat, took his gal
for a ride Get out of the way you chippies and
chumps the devil is on my side Stagolee went to

the sporting house locked it with a key Said
"All you whores don't you open your doors by
nobody else but me"

Stagolee does any damn thing he choose If you go
against him you know you gotta lose In everybody's
pocket, in every ladies bed With that spooky old
devil's hat sittin' right up on top of his head

All the girls love Stagolee but Suzy loved him the
best She told him to lay right down and take
himself some rest Stagolee took off his big black
boots, took off his long black tie But I won't
take off my big black hat 'cause I ain't about to
die

Suzy snuggled up to Stagolee, lift'd the hat right
off of his head And up she come with the
gattling-gun and shot that poor boy dead Stagolee
went down to the devil, devil he sat and smiled
Said "Boy you went and a lost your hat now
you're gonna fry awhile"

Stagolee does any damn thing he choose If you go
against him you know you gotta lose In everybody's
pocket, in every ladies bed With that spooky old
devil's hat sittin' right up on the top of his
head
