Testo Stagger Lee - Eric Bibb
Testo della canzone Stagger Lee (Eric Bibb), tratta dall'album Blues, Ballads & Work Songs
Police Officer, how can it be?
You can't arrest everybody but cruel Stagger Lee
Talkin' 'bout a bad man, ol' Stagger Lee
Billy DeLyon tol' Stagger Lee
"Please don't take my life
I got two little children an' a darlin' lovin' wife"
He tol' the bad man ol', Stagger Lee
"What I care about your children
Darlin' lovin' wife?
Ya done stole my fine Stetson
An' I'm bound to take your life"
Talkin' 'bout a bad man, ol' Stagger Lee
Boom-boom, boom-boom, went that .44
An' then I spied Billy, lyin' on the floor
Talkin' 'bout a bad man, Stagger Lee
Stagger Lee shot Billy
Shot that boy so bad
The bullet went through Billy
An' broke the bartender's lookin' glass
Ol' cruel Stagger Lee
Gentlemens of the jury
What you think of that?
Stagger Lee shot Billy
About a five dollar hat
You know it was a bad man
OI' cruel Stagger Lee
Standin' at the gallows
Had his head way up high
Twelve o' clock they killed him
Folks glad to see him die
Talkin' 'bout a bad man
Talkin' cruel Stagger Lee
With Stagger Lee shot Billy
He shot that boy so bad
The bullet went through Billy
An' broke the bartender's glass
Talkin' 'bout a bad man
Ol' cruel Stagger Lee
Talkin' 'bout a bad man
Ol' cruel Stagger Lee
