My name is Stagger Lee
And I'm walking through the ice and snow
And my girl threw me out last week
And I'm fucking broke
Nothing but this dollar in my pocket and my Colt .45
Don't look at me the wrong way...
Cause I got nothing to lose tonight
I walk into JD's
I put a dollar down
I turn a dollar into a few
I start drinking and I turn around
Cause I feel a pair of eyes burning into the back of my neck
He's whispering to the barkeep
The goddamn fool won't stop staring at me
So I shoot up from my seat and press the cold steel to his head and said
"Don't you know who the fuck I am?"
He said, "Stagger Lee, please don't take my life
I've got a kid back home
And I've got a wife."
He said, "Please, Stagger, please
I'm a friend, not a foe. But your girl is with Billy at the Flamingo
I just thought you should know."
So I pistol whip him in the teeth and walk outside
Steal the first fast car I see. A
Nd as my blood starts to boil...
I start to take a little ride
Leave the car running
Pull down the brim of my Black Stetson Hat
Look around and I see no witness
One last drink from my silver flask
I kick open the door. I see their bodies intertwined
I see the fear in their eyes. I point my Colt .45
And I feel divine
Stagger Lee... you're a bad, bad man
Oh Stagger Lee, you're going straight to hell
