Stagger Lee (Live at Uptown Theatre, Chicago, IL - 11/18/78)
1948,
Xmas
eve,
with
a
full
moon
over
town
En
1948,
la
veille
de
Noël,
avec
une
pleine
lune
au-dessus
de
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?
Que
penses-tu

Cause
Billy
DeLions
threw
the
lucky
dice
Parce
que
Billy

a
lancé
les
dés
porte-bonheur
Won
Stagger
Lee′s
Stetson

Stagger
Lee.
Bayo,
Bayo,
tell
me
how
can
this
be?
Bayo,
Bayo,
dis-moi
comment
cela
peut
être ?
You
arrest
the
girls
for
turning
tricks
Tu
arrêtes
les
filles
pour
prostitution
But
you're
scared
of
Stagger
Lee.
Mais
tu
as
peur
de
Stagger
Lee.
Stagger

is
a
madman
and
he
shot
my
Billy
D.
Stagger
Lee
est
un
fou
et
il
a
tiré
sur
mon

D.
Bayo
go
get
him
or
give
the
job
to
me.
Bayo,
va
le
chercher
ou

le
travail.
Delia
DeLions,
dear
sweet
Delia-D
Delia
DeLions,
ma
chère
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).
Eh
bien,
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

ce
type
est
grand,
mais
il
porte
un
.45

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

into
the

As

a
cigarette
she
shot
him
in
the
balls
Alors
que
Stagger
Lee
allumait
une
cigarette,
elle

dragged
to
city
hall

a
soufflé
la
fumée
de

revolver,
et
l’a
fait

à
l’hôtel
de
ville
Bayo,
Bayo,
see
you
hang
him
