Loading...

[intro]
the night was clear
and the moon was yellow
and the leaves came tumblin’ down

[verse 1]
i was standin’ on the corner
when i heard my bulldog bark
he was barkin’ at the two men
who were gamblin’ in the dark

[verse 2]
it was stagger lee and billy
two men who gambled late
stagger lee threw a seven
billy swore that he threw eight

[verse 3]
stagger lee told billy
“i can’t let you go with that
you have won all my money
and my brand new stetson hat”

[verse 4]
stagger lee went home
and he got his .44
said, “i’m goin’ to the barroom
just to pay that debt i owe”
now, go, stagger lee

[chorus]
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)

[verse 5]
stagger lee went to the barroom
and he stood ‘cross the barroom door
said, “now, n0body move”
and he pulled his .44

[verse 6]
“stagger lee,” cried billy
“oh, please don’t take my life
i got three little children
and a very sickly wife”

[verse 7]
well, stagger lee shot billy
oh, he shot that poor boy so bad
’til the bullet came through billy
and it broke the bartender’s glass
look out, now, stagger lee

[chorus]
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)
(go, stagger lee)

[outro]
(go, stagger lee) go, go, go, go, go
(go, stagger lee) go, go
go, stagger lee
go, stagger lee
go, stagger lee
