      Have you read his novel, The Gun Seller? Great fun, very well-written spoof of James Bond "spy/thriller" with a touch of the inimitable Peter Seller's bumbling Clouseau. Very talented man and as a lady, very easy on the eyes! Namaste, Z.

    It's a deviation of the expression for a tall man. Back in those days the Robert E Lee river boat had 2 huge smoke stacks and tall strong men were said to look like the Stack on the Robert E Lee....which was shortened to Stack of Lee .
    It was sang in a away to sound like Stagger Lee or Stacker Lee. But the orgins go back to the Robert E Lee river boat that was built in 1866 .
