Stagger Lee

In the style of

Lloyd Price

Lyrics

the night was clear
and the moon
was yellow
and the leaves came
tumbling down

i was standing
on the corner
when i heard
my bulldog bark
he was barking
at the two men
who were gambling
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
i can't let you
go with that
you have won
all my money
and my brand-new
stetson hat

stagger lee
went home
and he got his .44
said i'm going
to the barroom
just to pay that
debt i owe

go stagger lee
look out there now
go stag
tough man

stagger lee
went to the barroom
and he stood across
the barroom door
said now nobody move
and he pulled his .44

stagger lee
cried billy
oh please
don't take my life
i got
three little children
and a very sickly wife

stagger lee
shot billy
oh he shot that
poor boy so bad
till the bullet
came through billy
and it broke
the bartender's glass

ah look out stag
come on
get up
good googly moogly

get out of here stag
the police is comin'
go ahead now stag
good googly moogly
