1
The night was clear and the moon was yellow
2
And the leaves came tumbling down
3
I was standing on the corner
4
When I heard my bulldog bark
5
He was barkin' at the two men
6
Who were gamblin' in the dark
7
It was Stagger Lee and Billy
8
Two men who gambled late
9
Stagger Lee threw seven
10
Billy swore that he threw eight
11
Stagger Lee told Billy
12
I can't let you go with that
13
You have won all my money
14
And my brand new stetson hat
15
Stagger Lee went home
16
And he got his forty-four
17
Said, I'm goin' to the barroom
18
Just to pay that debt I owe
19
Go Stagger Lee
20
[Instrumental Interlude]
21
Stagger Lee went to the barroom
22
And he stood across the barroom door
23
He said, nobody move
24
And he pulled his forty-four
25
Stagger Lee, cried Billy
26
Oh, please don't take my life
27
I've three little children
28
And a very sickly wife
29
Stagger Lee shot Billy
30
Oh, he shot that poor boy so bad
31
Till the bullet came through Billy
32
And it broke the bartender's glass
