@haydonbcamp Part of this was taken by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds on their live version of Stagger Lee (Brixton 2004). Actually, this x rated version by Cave includes the influence of Archibald's early 50s version (Part 2) where the Devil and Stag (Stack) meet up and take each other on. Cave's Brixton 2004 version is up on YT but some may find it offensive.
Thanks for posting this one. I read the story about Hogman's version in Cecil Brown's fantastic book on Stagger. Hell, due to the nature of the American justice system, Hogman mighta been a good Christian. (Probably not, though.)
@jawsquid You're welcome! Lot's of imagination has gone into this story, all the way from Mississippi John Hurt's version from the 1920s all the way to Nick Cave's 1996 version.
Love the line .."some folks don't belive than Billy is dead, you don't believe he gone, just look what a hole in his head."
