Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds lyrics : "stagger lee"

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 Mother$#&@er, you know who I am" and the barkeeper said


"No, and I don't give a good !@#$" To Stagger Lee


He said "Well bartender, it's plain to see

I'm that bad mother$#&@er called Stagger Lee, Mr. Stagger Lee"





The barkeeper said "Yeah, I've heard your name down the way

And I kick mother$#&@ing $$#es 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 mother$#&@ing head




Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown


Was known to make more money than any (*##$ 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 mother$#&@er'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 $#&@ Billy Dilly in his mother$#&@ing $$#" Said Stagger Lee




"I'm a bad mother$#&@er, don't you know and I'll crawl over


Fifty good !@#( just to get one fat boy's $$#hole" Said Stagger Lee

Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and he says "You must be


That bad mother$#&@er 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
