Stack O'Lee

Nick Cave and Mississippi John Hurt

English
Police officer, how can it be?
You can 'rest everybody but cruel Stack O' Lee
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee
Billy de Lyon told Stack O' Lee, "Please don't take my life
I got two little babies, and a darlin' lovin' wife"
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee
"What I care about you little babies, your darlin' lovin' wife?
You done stole my Stetson1 hat, I'm bound to take your life"
That bad man, cruel Stack O' Lee
With the forty-four
When I spied Billy de Lyon, he was lyin' down on the floor
That bad man, oh cruel Stack O' Lee
"Gentleman's of the jury, what do you think of that?
Stack O' Lee killed Billy de Lyon about a five-dollar Stetson hat"
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee
And all they gathered, hands way up high
At twelve o'clock they killed him, they's all glad to see him die
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee


Polizist, wie kann das sein?
Sie können jedem eine Ruhe geben, außer dem grausamen Stack O'Lee
Dieser böse Mann, oh, grausamer Stack O'Lee
Billy de Lyon sagte zu Stack O‘ Lee: „Bitte nimm mir nicht das Leben.“
Ich habe zwei kleine Babys und eine liebe Frau“
Dieser böse Mann, oh, grausamer Stack O'Lee
„Was geht mir an euch kleinen Babys, eure geliebte Frau?
Du hast meinen Stetson1-Hut gestohlen, ich werde dir bestimmt das Leben nehmen.
Dieser böse Mann, der grausame Stack O'Lee
Mit den vierundvierzig
Als ich Billy de Lyon entdeckte, lag er auf dem Boden
Dieser böse Mann, oh grausamer Stack O'Lee
„Meine Herren der Geschworenen, was halten Sie davon?
Stack O'Lee hat Billy de Lyon wegen eines Fünf-Dollar-Stetson-Hutes getötet.
Dieser böse Mann, oh, grausamer Stack O'Lee
Und alle versammelten sich, die Hände hoch in die Höhe
Um zwölf Uhr haben sie ihn getötet, alle sind froh, ihn sterben zu sehen
Dieser böse Mann, oh, grausamer Stack O'Lee
