Bobby Rydell - Stagger Lee lyrics

rate me

The night was clear and the moon was yellow<br />

And the leaves came tumbling down<br />

<br />

I was standin' on the corner<br />

When I heard my bull dog bark<br />

He was barkin' at the two men<br />

Who were gamblin' in the dark<br />

<br />

Stagger Lee and Billy<br />

Two men who gambled late<br />

Stagger Lee threw a seven<br />

Billy swore that he threw an eight<br />

<br />

Stagger Lee told Billy<br />

I can't let you go with that<br />

You have won all my money<br />

And my brand new stetson hat<br />

<br />

Stagger Lee went home<br />

And he got his forty four<br />

Said, I'm gonna to the bar<br />

Just to pay that debt I owe<br />

<br />

Blew them, six<br />

Stagger Lee, Stagger Lee<br />

<br />

Stagger Lee went to the bar room<br />

And he stood across the bar room door<br />

Said, now, nobody move<br />

Then he pulled his forty four<br />

<br />

Stagger Lee, cried Billy<br />

Ohh, please don't take my life<br />

I've got three little children<br />

And a very sickly wife<br />

<br />

Well, Stagger Lee shot Billy<br />

Ohh, he shot that poor boy so bad<br />

So the bullet came through Billy<br />

And it broke the bartender's glass<br />

<br />

Hate that thing on most hands<br />

Stagger Lee, Stagger Lee<br />

<br />

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee<br />

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee<br />

Go, Stagger Lee<br />

<br />

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee<br />

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee<br />

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee<br />

Go, Stagger Lee<br />

<br />

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee<br />

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
