Stack-A-Lee was dead Some come dressed in orange colour, an' some come dressed in red Stack-A-Lee went to the Devil, to identify poor Billy's soul But the poor boy was absent, he had burned down to char-coal Now the Devil heard a rumblin', a mighty rumblin' under the ground Says, it must be Mr. Stack, turnin', baby, upside down Now this it, the Devil picked on top of the Devil's shelf Says, if you want Mr. Stack, you go an' git him by yourself
