 Rate Stagger Lee
Artist : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
Song : 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
Till he came to a place called The
Bucket Of Blood
Stagger Lee
He said "Mr
Motherfucker, you know who I am"
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
Barkeep
said, "Yeah, I've heard your name down the
way
And I kick motherfucking asses like you
every day"
Mr Stagger Lee
Well those
were the last words that the barkeep
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 starts to
flirt
With 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 something I have
to say before you begin
You'll have to be gone
before my man Billy Dilly comes in,
Mr.
Stagger Lee"
"I'll stay here till Billy
comes in, till time comes to pass
And
furthermore I'll fuck Billy 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"
Stagger Lee
"Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee
and you better get down on your knees
And suck
my dick, because 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.
