| 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! |
