Stagger Lee was responsible for the San Francisco earthquake.

He went into a bar for a drink. The bartender refused to serve him without seeing his money. Stagolee got mad, grabbed hold of the bar and tore it down. All over town, buildings collapsed, and a cloud of dust and smoke rose in the air. What happened was that when Stagolee wrenched out the bar, he pulled out the pipes. Since all the water pipes in town were connected, he tore them out too, causing the general disaster. (p. 178)

From Harold Courlander, 1963, "Negro Folk Music, U. S. A.," Columbia University Press.

Oh, dat man, bad man, Stagolee done come.
When Billy Lyons was pleading for his life, saying he had three little children, Stagolee responded (reliable sources):
Damn your little children,
Damn your lovin' wife.
You stole my good old Stetson hat,
An' now I'm goin' to have your life.
