Stagger Lee (Original Mix)

Shaky - Bill Haley

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

And he was barkin' up at 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 can't let you get away with that

Well you have won all my money

And my brand new Stetson hat

Stagger Lee he ran home

Went and he got his forty four

Said I'm goin' to the barroom

Just to pay that debt I owe

Go Stagger Lee

Stagger Lee went to the barroom

He stood across the barroom door

He said Now nobody move

And he pulled his forty four

Stagger Lee cried Billy

Oh please don't you take my life

I got me three little children

And a very sickly wife

Stagger Lee shot Billy

Oh he shot that poor boy so bad

Till the bullet came through Billy

And went right through

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 go Stagger Lee go

Go go go

Go Stagger Lee

Go Stagger Lee

Go Stagger Lee

Go Stagger Lee

Go Stagger Lee

Go Stagger Lee

Go go Stagger Lee go
