Lyrics

[00:07.66] Stagger Lee
[00:26.25] It was back in '32 when times were hard
[00:29.08] He had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards
[00:32.57] Stagger Lee
[00:38.95] He wore rat-drawn shoes and an old stetson hat
[00:42.01] Had a '28 Ford, had payments on that
[00:45.58] Stagger Lee
[00:51.57] His woman threw him out in the ice and snow
[00:54.91] And told him, "Never ever come back no more"
[00:58.00] Stagger Lee
[01:03.89] So he walked through the rain and he walked through the mud
[01:07.39] Till he came to a place called The Bucket Of Blood
[01:10.37] Stagger Lee
[01:16.35] He said "Mr Motherfucker, you know who I am"
[01:19.76] The barkeeper said, "No, and I don't give a good goddamn"
[01:24.93] To Stagger Lee
[01:28.82] He said, "Well bartender, it's plain to see
[01:32.07] I'm that bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee"
[01:35.25] Mr. Stagger Lee
[01:41.38] Barkeep said, "Yeah, I've heard your name down the way
[01:45.07] And I kick motherfucking asses like you every day"
[01:49.80] Mr Stagger Lee
[01:53.48] Well those were the last words that the barkeep said
[01:56.05] 'Cause Stag put four holes in his motherfucking head
[02:07.81] Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown
[02:09.21] Was known to make more money than any bitch in town
[02:19.03] She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt
[02:19.67] Over to Stagger Lee, she starts to flirt
[02:23.76] With Stagger Lee
[02:32.29] She saw the barkeep, said, "O God, he can't be dead!"
[02:33.53] Stag said, "Well, just count the holes in the motherfucker's head"
[02:42.81] She said, "You ain't look like you scored in quite a time.
[02:46.14] Why not come to my pad? It won't cost you a dime"
[02:50.73] Mr. Stagger Lee
[02:55.37] "But there's something I have to say before you begin
[02:57.70] You'll have to be gone before my man Billy Dilly comes in,
[03:03.68] Mr. Stagger Lee"
[03:07.78] "I'll stay here till Billy comes in, till time comes to pass
[03:13.41] And furthermore I'll fuck Billy in his motherfucking ass"
[03:15.85] Said Stagger Lee
[03:19.64] "I'm a bad motherfucker, don't you know
[03:22.28] And I'll crawl over fifty good pussies just to get one fat boy's asshole"
[03:28.01] Said Stagger Lee
[03:32.40] Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and he says, "You must be
[03:34.64] That bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee"
[03:39.98] Stagger Lee
[03:44.76] "Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees
[03:48.35] And suck my dick, because If you don't you're gonna be dead"
[03:53.48] Said Stagger Lee
[03:56.86] Billy dropped down and slobbered on his head
[04:01.75] And Stag filled him full of lead
[04:05.69] Oh yeah.
[05:07.00]
