Hawlin Alley on a dark and drizzly night,
Billy Lyons and Stack A Lee had one terrible fight.
All about that John B. Stetson hat.
Stack A Lee walked to the bar room, and he called for a glass of beer,
Turned around to Billy Lyons, said, What are you doin' here?
Waitin' for a train, please bring my woman home.
Stack A Lee, oh Stack A Lee. please don't take my life.
Got three little children and a weepin', lovin' wife.
You're a bad man, bad man, Stack A Lee.
God bless your children and I'll take care of your wife.
You stole my John B., now I'm bound to take your life.
All about that John B. Stetson hat.
Stack A Lee turned to Billy Lyons and he shot him right through the head,
Only taking one shot to kill Billy Lyons dead.
All about that John B. Stetson hat.
Sent for the doctor, well the doctor he did come,
Just pointed out Stack A Lee, said, Now what have you done?
You're a bad man, bad man, Stack A Lee.
Six big horses and a rubber tired hack,
Taking him to the cemetery, buy they failed to bring him back.
All about that John B. Stetson hat.
Hawlin Alley, thought I heard the bulldogs bark.
It must have been old Stack A Lee stumbling in the dark.
He's a bad man, gonna land him right back in jail.
High police walked on to Stack A Lee, he was lying fast asleep.
High police walked on to Stack A Lee, and he jumped forty feet.
He's a bad man, gonna land him right back in jail.
Well they got old Stack A Lee and they laid him right back in jail.
Couldn't get a man around to go Stack A Lee's bail
All about that John B. Stetson hat.
Stack A Lee turned to the jailer, he said, Jailer, I can't sleep.
'Round my bedside Billy Lyons began to creep.
All about that John B. Stetson hat.
The lyrics STACK A LEE of BOB DYLAN is also present in the album World gone wrong (1993)
Bob Dylan, nato Robert Allen Zimmerman a Duluth (Minnesota) il 24 maggio 1941, è un cantautore, compositore, scrittore, poeta, pittore, attore e conduttore radiofonico statunitense. Considerato una delle figure più influenti degli ultimi cinquant'anni in musica, cultura popolare e letteratura, Dylan ha segnato profondamente la storia della musica americana. La sua carriera inizia negli anni '60, periodo in cui si afferma come figura chiave del movimento di protesta americano. Canzoni come *Blowin' in the Wind* e *The Times They Are A-Changin'* diventano inni dei movimenti pacifisti e per i diritti civili. I testi delle sue prime canzoni affrontano temi politici, sociali e filosofici, influenzati da autori letterari come Walt Whitman e William Blake, sfidando le convenzioni della musica pop e appellandosi alla controcultura del tempo. Nel corso degli anni Dylan ha ampliato e personalizzato il suo stile musicale, esplorando generi diversi come country, blues, rock e gospel. Tra i suoi album più importanti: *The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan* (1963), *Bringing It All Back Home* (1965) e *Highway 61 Revisited* (1965). Nel 1976 pubblica l'album *Desire*, che segna un nuovo capitolo nella sua carriera, con influenze blues e country. Nel 2016 riceve il Premio Nobel per la letteratura «per aver creato nuove poetiche nel grande universo della canzone americana».

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
