STAGGER LEE

I was standin' on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at two men, they were gambling in the dark
Stagger Lee and Billy, two men that gambled late
Stagger Lee threw a seven, Billy swore that he threw eight

Stagger Lee told Billy, now I can't let you get away with that
You see, you won all my money and my brand new Stetson hat

I said oh, Stagger Lee
Oh, Stagger Lee

Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four
I'm gonna' go to that bar room, gonna' pay that debt I owe
Stagger Lee went to that bar room
And he stood across the bar room floor
He said now nobody move and he pulled his forty-four

I said oh, Stagger Lee
Oh, Stagger Lee

Stagger Lee, cried Billy, now please don't take my life
I got three little children and a very sickly wife
Stagger Lee shot Billy, he shot that poor boy down
And the bullet went through Billy
And it broke the bartender's glass

I said oh, Stagger Lee
Oh, Stagger Lee
