1940, Xmas eve, with a full moon over town
Stagger Lee met Billy DeLion
And he blew that poor boy down.
Do you know what he shot him for?
( )
What do you make of that?
Cause Billy DeLion threw lucky dice
Won Stagger Lee's Stetson hat.
Bayou, Bayou, tell me how can this be?
You arrest the girls for turning tricks
But you're scared of Stagger Lee.
Stagger Lee is a madman and he shot my Billy D.
( )
Bayou go get him or give the job to me.
