Stagger Lee

Lyrics for Stagger Lee

It was back in '32, when times were hard He had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards Stagger Lee He wore rat-drawn shoes and an old Stetson hat Had a '28 Ford, he had payments on that Stagger Lee His woman threw him out in the ice and the snow And she told him, "Never ever come back no more" Stagger Lee So he walked through the rain, and he walked through the mud Till he came to a place called "The Bucket o' Blood" Stagger Lee He said, "Mr. Mother Fucker, you know who I am?" And the barkeep said, "No, and I don't give a good God-damn!" To Stagger Lee He said, "Well bartender, it's a plain to see I'm the bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee Mr. Stagger Lee!" Well, the barkeeper said, "Yeah, I've heard your name down the way And I kick motherfucking asses like you every day Mr. Stagger Lee" Well, those were the last words that the barkeep said 'Cause Stag put four holes in his motherfucking head Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown Known to make more money than any bitch in town, yeah She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt Over to Stagger Lee, she's starting to flirt Oh, Stagger Lee She saw the barkeep, said, "Oh God, he can't be dead" Stag said, "Well, just count the holes in the motherfucker's head" She said, "You ain't look like you scored in quite a time. Why not come to my bed? It won't cost you a dime Mr. Stagger Lee" "But there's something that I have to say before you begin You'll have to be gone before my man, Billy Dilly, comes in Mr. Stagger Lee" "I'll stay here till Billy Dilly comes in, till time comes to pass And furthermore I'll fuck Billy Dilly in his motherfucking ass" Said Stagger Lee "I'm a bad motherfucker, don't you know And I'll crawl over fifty good pussies just to get to one fat boy's asshole" Said Stagger Lee Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and said, "You must be the mad motherfucker called Stagger Lee" "I'm Stagger Lee" "Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees And suck my dick, because if you don't you're gonna be dead" Said Stagger Lee Well, Billy Dilly dropped down and slobbered on his head And Stag filled him full of lead Oh, yeah
