Lyrics

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
It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gamble late
Stagger Lee threw seven
Billy swore that he threw eight
Stagger Lee told Billy
"Man, please don't you go in back
You have won all my money
And my brand new Stetson hat"
Go, go, go, Stag, hey
Ah, yeah
Mercy!
Stagger Lee went home
And he got his .44
He said, "I'm goin' to the barroom
Just to pay back debt I owe"
Gimme another drink, bartender
Hey, ho
Hey, ho
Hey, ho
Hey
Stagger Lee went to the barroom
And he stood across the barroom floor
He said, "Now, don't nobody move"
Then he pulled his .44
Stagger Lee saw Billy
"Man, please don't you take my life
I got three little children
And a very sickly wife"
Better believe it
Hey, ho
Hey
Hey, ho
Ah, yeah
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
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
