I was standin' on the corner
4
When I heard my bull dog bark.

He was barkin' at the two men
6
Who were gamblin' in the dark.

It was Stagger Lee and Billy,
8
Two men who gambled late.

Stagger lee threw a seven,
10
Billy swore that he threw eight.

"Stagger Lee," said Billy,
12
"I can't let you go with that.

"You have won all my money,
14
"And my brand-new Stetson hat."

And he got his .44.

18
"Just to pay that debt I owe."

Go, Stagger Lee

Oh, he shot that poor boy so hard

And broke the bartender's bar.

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee!

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee!
