1948, xmas eve, with a full moon over town
Stagger lee shot billy delions
And he blew that poor boy down.
Do you know what he shot him for?
What do you make of that?
Cause billy delions threw the lucky dice
Won stagger lee’s stetson hat.

Bayo, bayo, tell me how can this be?
You arrest the girls for turning tricks
But you’re scared of stagger lee.
Stagger lee is a madman and he shot my billy d.
Bayo go get him or give the job to me.

Delia delions, dear sweet delia-d
How the hell can i arrest him? he’s twice as big as me.
Well don’t ask me to go downtown, i won’t come back alive [no more].
Not only is that mother big but he packs a .45 [four].

Bayo, delia said, just give me a gun
He shot my billy dead now i’m gonna see him hung.
She went into the delion’s club through billy delions blood
Stepped up to stagger lee at the bar,
Said, "buy me a gin fizz, love."

As stagger lee lit a cigarette she shot him in the balls
Blew the smoke off her revolver, had him dragged to city hall
Bayo, bayo, see you hang him high
He shot my billy dead and now he’s got to die.

Delia went a walking down on singapore street
A three-piece band on the corner played "near my god to thee"
But delia whistled a different tune, what tune could it be?

The song that woman sung was "look out stagger lee".
The song that delia sung was "look out stagger lee".

The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

I was standing on the corner
When i heard my bulldog bark
He was barking up at the two men
Who were gambling in the dark

It was stagger lee and billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger lee threw a seven
Billy swore, he threw an eight
Stagger lee told "billy,
I can’t let you get away with that
Well, you’ve won all my money
And my brand new stetson hat"

Stagger lee ran home
Went and got him his 44
Said, "i’m going to the bar room
Just to pay that debt that i owe"

Go stagger lee, go stagger lee
Go stagger lee, go stagger lee
Said, "i’ m going to the bar room
Just to pay that debt that i owe"

Stagger lee went to the bar room
Boy, he stood across the bar room doors
Said, "now, nobody move"
And he pulled out his 44

"stagger lee", cried billy
"oh, please don’t you take my life
I got me three little children
And a very sickly wife"

Go stagger lee, go stagger lee
Go stagger lee, go stagger lee
"got me three little children
And a very, very sickly wife"

Stagger lee shot billy
Boy, he shot that poor boy so bad
That the bullet came thru billy
And went right thru the bartender’s glass

While i was standing on the corner
When i heard my bulldog bark
He was barking up at the two men
Who were gambling in the dark

Go stagger lee, go stagger lee
Go stagger lee, go stagger lee
Well, he was barking up at the two men
Who were gambling in the dark

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, had payments on that
Stagger Lee
His woman threw him out in the ice and snow
And 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 Of Blood
Stagger Lee
He said Mr Motherfucker, you know who I am
The barkeeper said, No, and I don’t give a good
goddamn
To Stagger Lee
He said, Well bartender, it’s plain to see
I’m that bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee
Mr. Stagger Lee
Barkeep 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
Was known to make more money than any bitch in town
She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt
Over to Stagger Lee, she starts to flirt
With Stagger Lee
She saw the barkeep, said, O 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 pad? It won’t cost you a dime
Mr. Stagger Lee
But there’s something 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 comes in, till time comes
to pass
And furthermore I’ll fuck Billy 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 one
fat boy’s asshole
Said Stagger Lee
Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and he says, You
must be
That bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee
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
Billy dropped down and slobbered on his head
And Stag filled him full of lead
Oh yeah.

The night was clear, and the moon was yellow

And the leaves came tumblin’ down. . .

I was standin’ on the corner

When i heard my bull dog bark.

He was barkin’ at the two men

Who were gamblin’ in the dark.

It was stagger lee and billy,

Two men who gambled late.

Stagger lee threw a seven,

Billy swore that he threw eight.

"stagger lee," said billy,

"i can’t let you go with that.

"you have won all my money,

"and my brand-new stetson hat."

Stagger lee went home

And he got his .44.

He said, "i’m goin’ to the ballroom

"just to pay that debt i owe."

(bridge)

Go, stagger lee

Stagger lee went to the ballroom

And he strolled across the ballroom floor.

He said "you did me wrong, billy."

And he pulled his .44.

"stagger lee," said billy,

"oh, please don’t take my life!

"i’ve got three hungry children,

"and a very sickly wife."

Stagger lee shot billy

Oh, he shot that poor boy so hard

That a bullet went through billy

And broke the bartender’s bar.

Go, stagger lee, go, stagger lee!

Go, stagger lee, go, stagger lee!
