Stagger Lee

[00:07.48] The night was clear and the moon was yellow
[00:12.33] And the leaves came tumbling down
[00:19.94]
[00:28.58] I was standing on the corner
[00:32.95] When I heard my bulldog bark
[00:36.23] He was barking up at the two men
[00:39.47] Who were gambling in the dark
[00:43.67] It was Stagger Lee and Billy
[00:47.55] Two men who gambled late
[00:51.46] Stagger Lee threw a seven
[00:53.86] Billy swore, he threw an eight
[00:59.25] Stagger Lee told "Billy,
[01:02.86] I can't let you get away with that
[01:07.02] Well, you've won all my money
[01:10.59] And my brand new stetson hat"
[01:14.83] Stagger Lee ran home
[01:19.05] Went and got him his 44
[01:23.04] Said, "I'm going to the bar room
[01:25.68] Just to pay that debt that I owe"
[01:28.93] Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
[01:34.42] Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
[01:38.24] Said, "I' m going to the bar room
[01:41.20] Just to pay that debt that I owe"
[01:44.42]
[01:56.38] Stagger Lee went to the bar room
[01:59.97] Boy, he stood across the bar room floor
[02:03.72] Said, "now, nobody move"
[02:06.23] And he pulled out his 44
[02:09.43]
[02:11.52] "Stagger Lee", cried Billy
[02:14.71] "Oh, please don't you take my life
[02:19.39] I got me three little children
[02:21.51] And a very sickly wife"
[02:25.09]
[02:27.73] Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
[02:31.27] Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
[02:34.85] "Got me three little children
[02:37.02] And a very, very sickly wife"
[02:40.87]
[03:00.22] Stagger Lee shot Billy
[03:03.88] Boy, he shot that poor boy so bad
[03:07.79] That the bullet came thru Billy
[03:10.40] And went right thru the bartender's glass
[03:15.93] While I was standing on the corner
[03:19.26] When I heard my bulldog bark
[03:23.36] He was barking up at the two men
[03:26.89] Who were gambling in the dark
[03:31.42] Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
[03:35.38] Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
[03:38.88] Well, he was barking up at the two men
[03:42.36] Who were gambling in the dark
[03:43.43]
