Youngbloods, The - Stagger Lee Lyrics
The night was dark and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumblin' down
1 2 3 4 1
He was barkin' at the two men who was gamblin' in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw a seven, Billy swore that he threw eight
'Oh now, Stagger Lee' - cried Billy - 'I can't let you go with that'
'You have won all my money and my brand-new Stetson hat'
Oh now, Stagger Lee went home, he got afraid his .44
He said: 'I'm goin' to the ballroom just to pay that debt I owe'
Go now, go
Oh now, Stagger Lee went to the ballroom and he stood behind the door
He said: 'Nobody moves' - and he pulled his .44
'Yeah now, Stagger Lee' - cried Billy - 'oh, please, don't take my life'
'I've got three little children and a very sickly wife'
Yeah now, Stagger Lee he shot Billy, yeah, you know, he shot that poor boy so bad
That a bullet went through Billy and broke the bartender's bar
(Go, Stagger Lee)
(Go, Stagger Lee)
