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 barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark 
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late 
Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight 

Stagger Lee told Billy, I cant 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 forty-four 
Said Im goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe 
Go Stagger Lee! 

Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door 
He said Nobody move and he pulled his forty-four 
Stagger Lee, cried Billy, Oh, please don't take my life 
I got three little children and a very sickly wife 
(Go Stagger Lee) 

Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad 
Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartenders glass 
Look out Stagger Lee!
