Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Stagger Lee Lyrics
It was back in 32 when times were hardHe had a colt .45 and a deck of cardsStagger leeHe wore rat-drawn shoes and an old stetson hatHad a 28 ford, had payments on thatStagger leeHis woman threw him out in the ice and snowAnd told him, never ever come back no moreStagger leeSo he walked through the rain and he walked through the mudTill he came to a place called the bucket of bloodStagger leeHe said mr mother*****er, you know who I amThe barkeeper said, no, and I dont give a good goddamnTo stagger leeHe said, well bartender, its plain to seeIm that bad mother*****er called stagger leeMr. stagger leeBarkeep said, yeah, Ive heard your name down the wayAnd I kick mother*****ing asses like you every dayMr stagger leeWell those were the last words that the barkeep saidcause stag put four holes in his mother*****ing headJust then in came a broad called nellie brownWas known to make more money than any ***** in townShe struts across the bar, hitching up her skirtOver to stagger lee, she starts to flirtWith stagger leeShe saw the barkeep, said, o god, he cant be dead!Stag said, well, just count the holes in the mother*****ers headShe said, you aint look like you scored in quite a time.Why not come to my pad? it wont cost you a dimeMr. stagger leeBut theres something I have to say before you beginYoull have to be gone before my man billy dilly comes in,Mr. stagger leeIll stay here till billy comes in, till time comes to passAnd furthermore Ill ***** billy in his mother*****ing assSaid stagger leeIm a bad mother*****er, dont you knowAnd Ill crawl over fifty good pussies just to get one fat boys *****Said stagger leeJust then billy dilly rolls in and he says, you must beThat bad mother*****er called stagger leeStagger leeYeah, Im stagger lee and you better get down on your kneesAnd suck my dick, because if you dont youre gonna be deadSaid stagger leeBilly dropped down and slobbered on his headAnd stag filled him full of leadOh yeah.
