It was back in '32 when times were hard

He had a colt. 45 and a deck of cards
3
Stagger lee
4
He wore rat-drawn shoes and an old stetson hat
5
Had a '28 ford, had payments on that
6
Stagger lee
7
His woman threw him out in the ice and snow
8
And told him, never ever come back no more
9
Stagger lee
10
So he walked through the rain and he walked through the
11
Mud
12
Till he came to a place called the bucket of blood
13
Stagger lee
14
He said mr motherfucker, you know who I am
15
The barkeeper said, no, and I don't give a good
16
Goddamn
17
To stagger lee
18
He said, well bartender, it's plain to see
19
I'm that bad motherfucker called stagger lee
20
Mr. Stagger lee
21
Barkeep said, yeah, I've heard your name down the
22
Way
23
And I kick motherfucking asses like you every day
24
Mr stagger lee
25
Well those were the last words that the barkeep said
26
'cause stag put four holes in his motherfucking head
27
Just then in came a broad called nellie brown
28
Was known to make more money than any bitch in town
29
She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt
30
Over to stagger lee, she starts to flirt
31
With stagger lee
32
She saw the barkeep, said, o god, he can't be
33
Dead!
34
Stag said, well, just count the holes in the
35
Motherfucker's head
36
She said, you ain't look like you scored in quite a
37
Time.
38
Why not come to my pad? It won't cost you a dime
39
Mr. Stagger lee
40
But there's something I have to say before you
41
Begin
42
You'll have to be gone before my man billy dilly comes
43
In,
44
Mr. Stagger lee
45
I'll stay here till billy comes in, till time comes
46
To pass
47
And furthermore I'll fuck billy in his motherfucking
48
Ass
49
Said stagger lee
50
I'm a bad motherfucker, don't you know
51
And I'll crawl over fifty good pussies just to get one
52
Fat boy's asshole
53
Said stagger lee
54
Just then billy dilly rolls in and he says, you
55
Must be
56
That bad motherfucker called stagger lee
57
Stagger lee
58
Yeah, I'm stagger lee and you better get down on
59
Your knees
60
And suck my dick, because if you don't you're gonna be
61
Dead
62
Said stagger lee
63
Billy dropped down and slobbered on his head
64
And stag filled him full of lead
65
Oh yeah.
