Karaoké Stagger Lee Nick Cave

It was back in thirty-two when times were hard

He had a Colt Forty-Five and a deck of cards

Stagger Lee

He wore ratdrawn shoes and an old Stetson hat

Had a twenty-eight Ford

He had payments on that

Stagger Lee

His woman threw him out in the ice and snow and she 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 Mister Motherfucker you know who I am and the barkeeper said No

I don't give a good goddamn

To Stagger Lee

He said Well bartender it's so plain to see

I'm the bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee

Mister Stagger Lee

Well the barkeeper said

Yeah I've heard your name down the way

And I kick motherfuckin' asses like you every day

Mister Stagger Lee

Well ah those were the last words that the barkeeper said 'cos Stag put four holes in his motherfuckin' head

Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown

Known to make more money than any bitch in town

Yeah

She struts across the bar

Hitchin' up her skirt over to Stagger Lee

She startin' to flirt

Oh Stagger Lee

She saw the barkeeper

Said Oh 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

Mister Stagger Lee

But there's somethin' that

I have to say before you begin

You'll have to be gone before my man Billy Dilly comes in

Mister Stagger Lee

I'll stay here t'ill Billy Dilly comes in

'Till time comes to pass

And furthermore

I'll fuck Billy Dilly in his motherfuckin' ass said Stagger Lee

I'm a bad motherfucker don't you know and I'll crawl over fifty good pussies

Just to get to one fat boy's asshole said Stagger Lee

Just then Billy Dilly rolls in

He says You must be a mad motherfucker called Stagger Lee

I'm 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

Well Billy Dilly dropped down and slobbered on his head and Stag filled him full of lead

Oh yeah
