 Send "Stagger Lee" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

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
can't let you go with that"
"You have won all
my money and my brand new stetson hat"
Stagger
Lee started off goin' down that railroad
track
He said "I can't get you Billy but don't
be here when I come back"

Stagger Lee went
home and he got his forty-four
Said "I'm goin'
to the barroom just to pay that debt I
owe"
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, oh he shot that poor boy so
bad
Till the bullet came through Billy and it
broke the bartender's glass
