Rory Block - Women In (E)Motion

Stagger Lee

Deputy Sheriff, deputy Sheriff, how can it be, Lord
You arrest everybody but cruel Stagger Lee
That was a bad man, cruel Stager Lee

Stagger Lee, Stagger Lee
Please don't take my life
I've got two little children
And a darling loving wife
He was a dead man, cruel Stagger Lee

What I care about your two little babes
Or your darling loving wife?
Now you stole my Stetson hat
Bound to take your life
He was a bad man, cruel Stagger Lee

Stagger Lee shot Billy Lyons
Shot him three or four times
And the last time he shot that boy
He dropped his head and died
He was a bad man, cruel Stagger Lee

Gentlemen of the jury
What you think of that
Stagger Lee shot Bill the Lyons
For a five dollar Stetson hat
He was a bad man, cruel Stagger Lee

Standing on the gallows
Head way on high
Lord the last time we seen that boy
We were all glad to see him die
He was a bad man cruel Stagger Lee

He was bad man, Cruel Stagger Lee
