Stagger lee lyrics

Artist  : Nick cave 
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.
