Lyrics:
The night was clear And the moon was yellow And the leaves came tumbling down
I was standing on the corner When I heard my bulldog bark He was barking at the two men Who were gambling in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy Two men who gambled late Stagger Lee threw seven Billy swore that he threw eight
Stagger Lee told Billy I can't let you go with that You have won all my money And my brand new stetson hat
Stagger Lee went home And he got his forty four Said, I'm going to the bar room Just to pay that debt I owe
Go Stagger Lee
Stagger Lee went to the bar room And he stood across the bar room door Said, now nobody move And he pulled his forty four
Stagger Lee, cried Billy Oh, please don't take my life I've got three little children And a very sickly wife
Stagger Lee shot Billy Oh he shot that poor boy so bad 'Til the bullet came through Billy And it broke the bartender's glass
Look out Stagg
