Stagger Lee [Live at Richmond Coliseum, Richmond, VA, November 1, 1985]
1948,
Xmas
eve,
with
a
full
moon
over
town
1948,
veille
de
Noël,
avec
une
pleine
lune
sur
la
ville
Stagger
Lee
shot
Billy
DeLions
Stagger
Lee
a
tiré
sur
Billy

And
he
blew
that
poor
boy
down.
Et
il
a
fait
tomber
ce
pauvre
garçon.
Do
you
know
what
he
shot
him
for?
Sais-tu
pourquoi
il
lui
a
tiré
dessus
?
What
do
you
make
of
that?
Qu'est-ce
que
tu
penses
de
ça
?
Cause
Billy
DeLions
threw
the
lucky
dice
Parce
que
Billy

a
jeté
les
dés
chanceux
Won
Stagger
Lee's
Stetson
hat.
Et

Lee.
Bayo,
Bayo,
tell
me
how
can
this
be?
Bayo,
Bayo,
dis-moi
comment
est-ce
possible
?
You
arrest
the
girls
for
turning
tricks
Tu
arrêtes
les
filles
pour
avoir
fait
des
tours
But
you're
scared
of
Stagger

tu
as
peur
de
Stagger
Lee.
Stagger
Lee
is
a
madman
and
he
shot
my
Billy
D.
Stagger

est
un
fou
et
il
a
tiré
sur
mon

Bayo
go
get
him
or

to
me.
Bayo,

le
boulot.
Delia
DeLions,
dear
sweet
Delia-D
Delia
DeLions,
chère
douce
Delia-D
How
the
hell
can
I
arrest
him?
He's
twice
as
big
as
me.
Comment
diable
puis-je
l'arrêter
? Il
est
deux
fois
plus
grand
que
moi.
Well
don't
ask
me
to
go
downtown,
I
won't
come
back
alive
(no
more).
Et
ne
me
demande
pas
d'aller
en
ville,
je
ne
reviendrai
pas
vivant
(plus).
Not
only
is
that
mother
big
but
he
packs
a
.45
(four).
Non
seulement

mère
est
grande,

Bayo,
Delia
said,
just
give
me
a
gun
Bayo,
a
dit
Delia,
donne-moi
juste
une
arme
He
shot
my
Billy
dead
now
I'm
gonna
see
him
hung.
Il
a
tué
mon
Billy,
maintenant
je
vais
le
voir
pendu.
She

him
in
the
balls
