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