"Stagger Lee" lyrics - TAJ MAHAL

Could be on a rainy morning
Could be on a rainy night
Stagger Lee and Billy DeLyons
Had a great big fight

Talkin' 'bout the bad man
Cruel old Stagger Lee

"Stagger Lee", said Billy
"Man you know I can't go with that
I done won all your money
And your great big Stetson hat"

Talkin' 'bout the bad man
Cruel old Stagger Lee

"Stagger Lee", said Billy
"Man don't take my life
I got two lovely children
I got a very lovely wife"

Talkin' 'bout the bad man
Cruel old Stagger Lee

Stagger Lee shot Billy
Shot the boy so bad
The bullet went through Billy
Broke the bartender's looking glass

Talkin' 'bout the bad man
Cruel old Stagger Lee

If you ever down in Louisiana
Go into the Lions Club
Every foot you be steppin' in
Billy DeLyon's blood

Talkin' 'bout that bad man, bad man
Cruel old Stagger Lee

It could be on a rainy morning
It could been on a rainy night
Oh, Stagger Lee and Billy DeLyons
Had a great big fight

Talkin' 'bout that bad man
Cruel old Stagger Lee
