Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs – Stagger Lee Lyrics
Artist: Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs
Song: Stagger Lee
The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumblin’ down
I was standin’ 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, and he swore that he threw eight
Stagger Lee told Billy, “Now, you goin’, I ain’t goin’ for that
You done won all my money, my brand-new Stetson hat”
Stagger Lee went home, and he got his .44
Said, “I’m going to the corner just to pay a dеbt I owe”
Go, Stagger Lee!
Stagger Lee wеnt to the barroom, and he stood across the barroom door
He said, “Nobody moves” and he pulled his .44
“Stagger Lee” cried Billy, “Oh, please don’t take my life
I got three little children and a very sickly wife”
Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh, he shot that poor boy so bad
‘Til the bullet went through Billy, and it broke the bartender’s glass
Ow!
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee, ow!
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee
