The night was clear and the moon was yellow[00:00:00]
And the leaves came tumbling down[00:00:08]
I was standing on the corner[00:00:14]
When I heard my bulldog bark[00:00:18]
He was barkin' at the two men[00:00:23]
Who were gamblin' in the dark[00:00:24]
It was Stagger Lee and Billy [00:00:31]
Two men who gambled late[00:00:36]
Stagger Lee threw seven [00:00:40]
Billy swore that he threw eight[00:00:42]
Stagger Lee told Billy [00:00:49]
"I can't let you go with that"[00:00:53]
"You have won all my money[00:00:58]
And my brand new stetson hat"[00:01:00]
Stagger Lee went home[00:01:07]
And he got his forty-four[00:01:11]
Said "I'm goin' to the barroom[00:01:15]
Just to pay that debt I owe"[00:01:18]
Stagger Lee went home[00:01:59]
And he got his forty-four[00:02:03]
Said "I'm goin' to the barroom[00:02:08]
Just to pay that debt I owe"[00:02:09]
Stagger Lee cried Billy[00:02:16]
Oh please don't take my life[00:02:20]
I've three little children[00:02:25]
And a very sickly wife[00:02:27]
Stagger Lee shot Billy [00:02:34]
Oh he shot that poor boy so bad[00:02:38]
Till the bullet came through Billy[00:02:42]
And it broke the bartender's glass[00:02:45]
Stagger Lee went home[00:03:25]
And he got his forty-four[00:03:29]
Said I'm goin' to the barroom[00:03:33]
Just to pay that debt I owe[00:03:35]
