Stagger Lee - Cave, Nick And The Bad Seeds

It was back in '32 when times were hard
He had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards
Stagger Lee

He wor rat-drawn shoes and a old stetson hat
Had a '28 Ford, had payments on that
Stegger 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 trough the mud
Till he came to a place called The Bucket Of Blood
Stagger Lee

He said, ''Mr. Motherfucker, you now who I´am''
The barkeeper said, ''No, and don´t give a goddman''
To Stagger Lee

He said, ''Well bartender, it´s plain to see
I´m that bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee''
Mr. Stagger Lee

Berkeep said, ''Yeah I´ve heard your name down the way
Nad 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 look like you ain´t scored 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
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

Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and said, ''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 be sure to dead''
Said Stagger Lee

Billy Dilly dropped down and slobbered on his head
And Stag filled him full of lead.
Oh yeah.
