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 yeah.
#2.
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.
#3.
Stagger Lee went home and he got his Forty-Four said, I'm
goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe.
#4.
Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom
floor.
He said, now, nobody move, and he pulled his forty-four.
Stagger Lee, said Billy, oh, please don't take my life I got
three little children and a very sickly wife oh, yeah.
#5.
Stagger Lee shot Billy he shot that poor boy so bad that the
the bullet went through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass (mercy!)
