Align:    
  • 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.
