The night was clear and the moon was yellowAnd the leaves came tumbling downI was standing on the cornerWhen I heard my bulldog barkHe was barkin' at the two menWho were gamblin' in the darkIt was Stagger Lee and BillyTwo men who gambled lateStagger Lee threw sevenBilly swore that he threw eightStagger Lee told BillyI can't let you go with thatYou have won all my moneyAnd my brand new stetson hatStagger Lee went homeAnd he got his forty-fourSaid, I'm goin' to the barroomJust to pay that debt I oweGo Stagger LeeStagger Lee went to the barroomAnd he stood across the barroom doorHe said, nobody moveAnd he pulled his forty-fourStagger Lee, cried BillyOh, please don't take my lifeI've three little childrenAnd a very sickly wifeStagger Lee shot BillyOh, he shot that poor boy so badTill the bullet came through BillyAnd it broke the bartender's glass
