1948, xmas eve, with a full moon over town Stagger lee shot billy delions And he blew that poor boy down. Do you know what he shot him for? What do you make of that? Cause billy delions threw the lucky dice Won stagger lees stetson hat. Bayo, bayo, tell me how can this be? You arrest the girls for turning tricks But youre scared of stagger lee. Stagger lee is a madman and he shot my billy d. Bayo go get him or give the job to me. Delia delions, dear sweet delia-d How the hell can I arrest him? hes twice as big as me. Well dont ask me to go downtown, I wont come back alive [no more]. Not only is that mother big but he packs a .45 [four]. Bayo, delia said, just give me a gun He shot my billy dead now Im gonna see him hung. She went into the delions club through billy delions blood Stepped up to stagger lee at the bar, Said, buy me a gin fizz, love. As stagger lee lit a cigarette she shot him in the balls Blew the smoke off her revolver, had him dragged to city hall Bayo, bayo, see you hang him high He shot my billy dead and now hes got to die. Delia went a walking down on singapore street A three-piece band on the corner played near my God to thee But delia whistled a different tune, what tune could it be? The song that woman sung was look out stagger lee. The song that delia sung was look out stagger lee. |
