Stagger Lee |
| My name is Stagger Lee |
| And I’m walking through the ice and snow |
| And my girl threw me out last week |
| And I’m fucking broke |
| Nothing but this dollar in my pocket and my Colt .45 |
| Don’t look at me the wrong way… |
| Cause I got nothing to lose tonight |
| I walk into JD’s |
| I put a dollar down |
| I turn a dollar into a few |
| I start drinking and I turn around |
| Cause I feel a pair of eyes burning into the back of my neck |
| He’s whispering to the barkeep |
| The goddamn fool won’t stop staring at me |
| So I shoot up from my seat and press the cold steel to his head and said |
| «Don't you know who the fuck I am?» |
| He said, «Stagger Lee, please don’t take my life |
| I’ve got a kid back home |
| And I’ve got a wife.» |
| He said, «Please, Stagger, please |
| I’m a friend, not a foe. |
| But your girl is with Billy at the Flamingo |
| I just thought you should know.» |
| So I pistol whip him in the teeth and walk outside |
| Steal the first fast car I see. |
| A |
| Nd as my blood starts to boil… |
| I start to take a little ride |
| Leave the car running |
| Pull down the brim of my Black Stetson Hat |
| Look around and I see no witness |
| One last drink from my silver flask |
| I kick open the door. |
| I see their bodies intertwined |
| I see the fear in their eyes. |
| I point my Colt .45 |
| And I feel divine |
| Stagger Lee… you’re a bad, bad man |
| Oh Stagger Lee, you’re going straight to hell |
