Lyrics
0:00The night was clear and the moon was yellow
0:07And the leaves came tumbling down
0:14I was standing on the corner
0:17When I heard my bull dog bark
0:21He was barkin＇ at the two men
0:22Who were gamblin＇ in the dark
0:28It was Stagger Lee and Billy
0:31Two men who gambled late
0:35Stagger lee threw a seven
0:37Billy swore that he threw eight
0:41＂Stagger Lee ＂ said Billy
0:44＂I can＇t let you go with that
0:48＂You have won all my money
0:50＂And my brand-new Stetson hat ＂
0:55Stagger Lee went home
0:59And he got his 44
1:02He said ＂I＇m goin＇ to the ballroom
1:04＂Just to pay that debt I owe ＂
1:09(bridge)
1:23Stagger Lee went to the ballroom
1:26And he strolled across the ballroom floor
1:29He said ＂No bady konws Billy ＂
1:31And he pulled his 44
1:36＂Stagger Lee ＂ said Billy
1:39＂Oh please don＇t take my life
1:43＂I＇ve got three hungry children
1:44＂And a very sickly wife ＂
1:49Stagger Lee shot Billy
1:53Oh he shot that poor boy so hard
1:56That a bullet went through Billy
1:58And broke the bartender＇s bar
1:59Tingle's line
2:00Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
2:03Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
2:06Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
2:10Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
2:13Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
2:17Go Stagger Lee
