Stagolee (Traditional Version 1) — текст песни (Nick Cave and The Bad Seed)

Bad man Stagalee when he bad,
He bad wid a gun
Stagalee, Stagalee --- you must-a been a sinner
Ev`ry- Christmas eve they give Stagalee a dinner
Bad man Stagalee, when he bad
He bad wid a gun.


Don`t you remember you remember
One dark stormy night
Stagalee and Bill O. Lion
Dey had dat noble fight.


Bill O. Lion tole Stagalee
Please don`t take my life
I got three little children
And a dear lil` lovin`wife


Stagalee told Billy O. Lion
I don`t care for your three lil` children
Or even your lovin` wife
You stole mah Stetson hat
And I`m goin to take yo`life


Stagalee pulled out his forty-four
It went boom boom boom
It wasn`t long` fore Bill O. Lion
WVere layin`on de flo`


Stagalee`s woman she went to her boss
Said, Please give me some change.
Dey got my baby in de station house
An`mah business mus`be`ranged.


Stagalee asked his woman
How much change has you got?
She run her han`in her stocking feet
And pulled out a hundred spot.
She had to get mo`money
