Stagger Lee - John Holt
I was standin on the corner
When i heard my bull dog 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 a seven
Billy swore that he threw eight
Oh stagger lee don't billy
I can't let you go with that
You have won all my money
And my brand new go done hat
Stagger lee went home
And he got his 44
He said nobody move i'm goin to play this
These pay that i owe
Stagger lee went to the ballroom
And he strolled across the ballroom floor
He said nobody move and did billys his 44
Stagger lee said billy
Oh please don't take my life no no
I've got three little women
And a very sickly wife
Stagger lee shot billy
Oh he shot that poor boy so bad
That a bullet went through billy
And be broke the bar tender's gland
Oh yeah
