The night was clear, and the moon was yellowAnd the leaves came tumblin' down. . .I was standin' on the cornerWhen I heard my bull dog bark.He was barkin' at the two menWho were gamblin' in the dark.It was stagger lee and billy,Two men who gambled late.Stagger lee threw a seven,Billy swore that he threw eight.Stagger lee, said billy,I can't let you go with that.You have won all my money,And my brand-new stetson hat.Stagger lee went homeAnd he got his .44.He said, I'm goin' to the ballroomJust to pay that debt I owe.(bridge)Go, stagger leeStagger lee went to the ballroomAnd he strolled across the ballroom floor.He said you did me wrong, billy.And he pulled his .44.Stagger lee, said billy,Oh, please don't take my life!I've got three hungry children,And a very sickly wife.Stagger lee shot billyOh, he shot that poor boy so hardThat a bullet went through billyAnd broke the bartender's bar.Go, stagger lee, go, stagger lee!Go, stagger lee, go, stagger lee!(to fade)
