It was back in 32 when times were hard
He had a Colt 45 and a deck of cards, Stagger Lee
He wore rat drawn shoes and an old Stetson hat
Had a 28 Ford, had payments on that, Stagger Lee

    Great shout, wolfy76484...I love the video for this-even tho' Nick Cave is doing more of a Jagger impression than-well, Jagger. That ain't neccessarily a bad thing anway. Someone must've put "I'm the bad motherfucker don't you know I'll crawl over 50 good pussies just to get to one fat boy's asshole"? Or something about it? Personally, I think it's an album that is good, despite initially seeming like another product aimed at making folk say, "Gosh"; in fact it is well worth checking. Each to their own.

    "Stagger Lee", also known as "Stagolee", "Stackerlee", "Stack O'Lee", "Stack-a-Lee" and several other variants, is a popular folk song based on the murder of William "Billy" Lyons by Stagger Lee Shelton. Herb Wiedoeft and his band recorded the song in 1924.

    It reminds Tarantino a lot. Pretty fuckin' intense.

    I'm glad they did this song, because they can sing about murder like no one else.
