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.tagger lee, said billy,I cant let you go with that.You have won all my money,And my brand-new stetson hat.tagger lee went homend he got his .44.He said, Im goin to the ballroomJust to pay that debt I owe.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,SongtexteOh, please dont take my life!Ive got three hungry children,And a very sickly wife.tagger lee shot billyOh, he shot that poor boy so hardThat a bullet went through billyAnd broke the bartenders bar.Go, stagger lee, go, stagger lee!Go, stagger lee, go, stagger lee!
