Lyrics

I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog
He was barking at the two men who were standing in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight
Stagger Lee told Billy, "I can't let you go with that
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
You have won all my money
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
And my brand new Stetson hat."
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
Stagger Lee
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
Went home
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
And he got his forty-four
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
Said, "I'm going to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe."
(Go, Stagger Lee.) Go on, Stagger Lee!
"Stagger Lee," cried Billy
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
"Oh, please don't take my life
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
I got three little children and a very sickly wife."
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
Stagger Lee shot Billy
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
Oh, he shot that poor boy so bad
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
Ooooh ! (Go, Stagger Lee.)
(Go, Stagger Lee. Go, Stagger Lee.) Oh, yeah !
(Go, Stagger Lee. Go, Stagger Lee.)
(Go, Stagger Lee. Go, Stagger Lee.) Yeah !
(Go, Stagger Lee. Go, Stagger Lee.) Oooh !
(Go, Stagger Lee. Go, Stagger Lee.)
(Go, Stagger Lee. Go, Stagger Lee.)
(Go, Stagger Lee. Go, Stagger Lee.)
