《Stagger Lee》的歌詞如下：
Stagger Lee he was a sure footed man
In Stetson hat and worn out shoes
Down by the river where the gators roam
He played a card and he got the blues
Yeah, he played a high old flush and double deck
He said "Now ladies, what a lucky bet"
And then Stagger Lee, he said to his man
"You take the money and you run for the train"
And when the sun began to sink low
The other fella had a straight ahead show
He fired at Stagger Lee, but he missed his aim
And when he hit the ground, he never moved again
Oh, there's a river running through my veins
Oh, I'm staggered by the memory of Lee
And I hear that old train whistle blow
Oh, I'm gonna run for the river and die
Yeah, I'm gonna run for the river and die
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Stagger Lee he was a hard headed man
He played his cards and he played his game
And when he lost he always played the same
He'd take a drink and he'd lose again
Yeah, he played a high old flush and double deck
He said "Now ladies, what a lucky bet"
And when he was through, he'd fall to his knees
And say "Lord have mercy, what a wild and free life"
Oh, there's a river running through my veins
Oh, I'm staggered by the memory of Lee
And I hear that old train whistle blow
Oh, I'm gonna run for the river and die
Yeah, I'm gonna run for the river and die
Come on back and stay with me for a while
Just come on back now
Just come on back now come on now yeah yeah
There's a river running through my veins
Oh, I'm staggered by the memory of Lee
I'm gonna run for the river and die.
