Stagger Lee

Stagger Lee - Tommy Roe

I was standing on the corner

When I heard my bulldog bark

He was barking at the two men

Who were gambling 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 can't 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 I'm going to the barroom just to pay that debt I own

Oh yeah

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 shot Billy yeah he shot that poor boy so bad

Till the bullet came through Billy

And it broke the bartender's glass

Said go stagger Lee

Go stagger Lee

Go stagger Lee

Go stagger Lee

Go stagger Lee

Hoo

Go stagger Lee

I said go stagger Lee

Go stagger Lee

Go stagger Lee

Go stagger Lee

Hoo yeah

I said go stagger Lee
