Thread Name: Origins: Stagger Lee / Stack O'Lee / etc.
Subject: RE: Origins: Stagger Lee
As a child, I grew up listening to my grandfather sing StackoLee while playing the guitar. Although I cannot remember it in its entirety; this is what I do know: Billy said to Stackolee, please don't take my life, I've got three little children, and a mighty sickly wife, but he's bad, bad, bad, bad, bad Stackolee. Has anyone ever heard of, or have information on this version. I would love to know more about it. Thanks, Ericka
