Loading...

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

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

[verse 3]
stagger lee told billy
“man, please don’t you go in back
you have won all my money
and my brand new stetson hat”

[bridge 1]
go, go, go, stag, hey
ah, yeah
mercy!

[verse 4]
stagger lee went home
and he got his .44
he said, “i’m goin’ to the barroom
just to pay back debt i owe”
[bridge 2]
gimme another drink, bartender
hey, ho
hey, ho
hey
hey
hey

[verse 5]
stagger lee went to the barroom
and he stood across the barroom floor
he said, “now, don’t n0body move”
then he pulled his .44

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

[bridge 3]
better believe it, hey
hey
hey
hey
hey
ah, yeah
[verse 7]
stagger lee shot billy
man, he shot that poor boy so bad
’til the bullet went through billy
and it broke the bartender’s glass

[outro]
hey, ho
hey

mmm, yeah

well, that was the story of stagger lee
that’ll teach you about gamblin’
hey, ho
hey
hey, ho
hey
hey, ho
ah, yes
