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   'Til he came to a place called 'The Bucket of Blood' Stagger Lee      He said "Mr Motherfucker, you know who I am" and 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"      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 all those were the last words that the barkeeper 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's startin' to flirt oh 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 somethin' that I have to say before you begin   You have to be gone 'fore 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 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 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" I'm Stagger Lee      Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees and   Suck my dick, 'cos 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
