Band Introduction (Staggerlee) |
The night was clear and the moon was yellow |
And the leaves came tumbling down |
I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark |
He was barkin' at the two men who was gamblin' in the dark |
It was stagger lee and billy, they were two men gambling |
Stagger lee threw a seven, billy swore that he threw an eight |
Stagger lee told billy, I can’t let you go with that |
You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat |
Stagger lee went home and he got his forty-four |
Said I’m goin' to the barroom got to pay the debt I owe |
Stagger lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door |
He said nobody move and he pulled that forty-four |
Stagger lee heard billy say please don’t take my life |
I’ve got three hungry children and a very happy wife |
Stagger lee shot billy, well he shot that boy so bad |
That the bullet went though billy and it broke the bartender’s glass |
That’s got to teach you a lesson some how |
