Stagger Lee

歌詞

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!
