Stagger Lee Full Lyrics
[00:01.88] The night was clear and the moon was yellow
[00:07.91] And the leaves came tumbling down
[00:13.56] I was standing on the corner when i heard my bulldog bark
[00:21.55] He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark
[00:26.36] It was stagger lee and billy, two men who gambled late
[00:33.93] Stagger lee threw seven, billy swore that he threw eight
[00:38.55] Stagger lee told billy, "i can't let you go with that"
[00:46.23] "You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat"
[00:51.02] Stagger lee started off goin' down that railroad track
[01:12.24] He said "i can't get you billy but don't be here when i come back"
[01:17.41] Stagger lee went home and he got his forty-four
[01:18.90] Said "i'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt i owe"
[01:20.81] Stagger lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door
[01:23.02] He said "nobody move" and he pulled his forty-four
[01:25.03] Stagger lee shot billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad
[01:28.09] Till the bullet came through billy and it broke the bartender's glass
[01:44.68]
