I was standin' on the corner
When I heard my bull dog bark
He was barkin' at two men
Who were standin' 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
"No, I can't go with that
You have won all my money
And my brand new Stetson hat"

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee

Now Stagger Lee went home
And he got his 44
He said, "Don't nobody go
I'm gonna to pay that that debt I owe"

"Stagger Lee," said Billy
Oh, please don't take my life
I've got three little children
And a very sickly wife"

Stagger Lee shot Billy
He shot that boy so hard
That a bullet went through Billy
And broke the bartender's glass

Go, Stagger Lee

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
