Stagger Lee, Pt. 1

I was doing fine until

I ran into your overkill

Stagger Lee

If you still remember me

I thought I really had it made

Until I ran into your blade

Stagger Lee

Now I'm a ghost in misery

Stagger Lee

I was in my finest clothes

My Sunday best I suppose

For Stagger Lee

Who owed money to me

All the whiskey on his tongue

And still they found the jury hung

For Stagger Lee

Who got away with killing me

Stagger Lee

I will be haunting you

Until your last breath is due

O Stagger Lee

And I know you want to be free

It don't work that way

You will suffer until I say

You done me wrong

So I wrote another song

You done me wrong

So I've done another song
