Lyrics
It could have been on a rainy morning
It could have been on a rainy night
Stagger Lee and Billy de Lyon
Had a great big fight
Oh, the bad man cruel Stagger Lee
Mr. Lyon told Stagger Lee
Please don't take my life
I've got two little babes
And a darling loving wife
Oh, the bad man cruel Stagger Lee
What I care about two little babes
And a darling loving wife
You done stole my Stetson hat
So I'm gonna take your life
Oh, the bad man cruel Stagger Lee
Stagger Lee shot Billy
He shot the boy so bad
The bullet went through Billy
And broke the bartender's hook and glass
Oh, the bad man cruel Stagger Lee
Police officer
Well tell me how can this be
You arrest everybody
But cruel Stagger Lee
Oh, the bad man cruel Stagger Lee
Gentlemen of the jury
Tell me what do you think of that
Stagger Lee shot a man
About a five dollar Stetson hat
Oh, the bad man cruel Stagger Lee
He's standing on the gallows
With his head way up high
At twelve o'clock they killed him
We're so glad to see him die
Oh, the bad man cruel Stagger Lee
It could have been on a rainy morning
It could have been on a rainy night
Stagger Lee and Billy de Lyon
Had a great big fight
Oh, the bad man cruel Stagger Lee
