The Clash - Wrong 'Em Boyo [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Stagger Lee met Billy and they go down to gambling

Stagger Lee throwed seven
Billy said that he throwed eight
So Billy said, hey Stagger! I'm gonna make my big attack
I'm gonna have to leave my knife in your back

Why do you try to cheat?
And trample people under your feet

[Chorus]
(Don't you know it is wrong?)
To cheat the trying man
(Don't you know it is wrong?)
To cheat the trying man
So you better stop
It is the wrong 'em boyo

You lie, steal, cheat and deceit
In such a small, small game

[Chorus]

Billy Boy has been shot
And Stagger Lee's come out on top

Don't you know it is wrong
To cheat the trying man
Don't you know it is wrong
To cheat Stagger man
You'd better stop
It is the wrong 'em boyo

So you must start all over again
All over again

(Don't you know it is wrong?)
You got to play it, Billy, play
(Don't you know it is wrong?)
Well play it, Billy, play
You will find
It is the right 'em boyo

But if you must lie and deceit
And trample people under your feet

[Chorus]

It is the wrong 'em boyo
It is the wrong 'em boyo
It is the wrong 'em boyo
It is the wrong 'em boyo
It is the wrong 'em boyo
