[Dixielandjazz] Stack 'o' Lee or variations on a theme!

[jazzfact]

<The killer was a black man named Lee Shelton. Most of the ballads say 
Stagolee was a gambler, but it appears that he was also a "maquereau", a
French term 
for pimp - often abbreviated to "mack", which describes men who were kept by

women.>

is this where "Mack" The Knife came from?
