Stagger Lee |
The night was clear, and the moon was yellow |
And the leaves came tumblin' down.. |
I was standin' on the corner |
When I heard my bull dog bark |
He was barkin' at the two men |
Who were gamblin' in the dark |
It was Stagger Lee and Billy |
Two men who gambled late |
Stagger lee threw a seven |
Billy swore that he threw eight |
«Stagger Lee,» said 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 .44 |
He said, «I'm goin' to the ballroom |
«Just to pay that debt I owe.» |
Go, Stagger Lee |
Stagger Lee went to the ballroom |
And he strolled across the ballroom floor |
He said «You did me wrong, Billy.» |
And he pulled his .44 |
«Stagger Lee,» said Billy |
«Oh, please don’t take my life! |
«I've got three hungry children |
«And a very sickly wife.» |
Stagger Lee shot Billy |
Oh, he shot that poor boy so hard |
That a bullet went through Billy |
And broke the bartender’s bar |
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee! |
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee! |
(to fade) |
