Here's a version we used to sing in the funny farm:

Stagolee was a bad man, as everybody knows
Stole a hundred dollars, to poke something up his nose
He was a bad man, that mean old Stagolee

Stagolee shot Billy Lyons, cos Billy stole his favourite hat
he wore it to church on Sunday. Whatcha think about that?
He was a bad man, that mean old Stagolee

Billy said I got two little children and a tender loving wife
and a mother-in-law of eight four, so please spare my life.
He was a bad man, that mean old Stagolee

Now what do I care about your brats, or your mean-faced sharp-tongued wife
Or your mother in law and her slack jaw, You never had a life!
He was a bad man, that mean old Stagolee

The judge said Stagolee, remove your hat, you know that crime don't pay
So off to the electric chair and have a real nice day!
He was a bad man, that mean old Stagolee

At twelve o'clock they pulled the switch and in that chair he died
Last thing he said was "Take my hat, I don't want to see it fried.'
He was a bad man, that mean old Stagolee
He was a bad man, that mean old Stagolee
