Subject: Lyr Add: STAGGER LEE (Lloyd Price) From: Jim Dixon Date: 02 Jan 14 - 02:29 PM STAGGER LEE As recorded by Lloyd Price, 1959 The night was clear and the moon was yellow, And the leaves came tumbling down. 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. 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." Stagger Lee started off, goin' down that railroad track. He said: "I can't get you, Billy, but don't be here when I come back." Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four. Said: "I'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe." Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door. He said: "Nobody move," and he pulled his forty-four. Then Billy, he cried: "Stag, oh, Stag, please don't take my life. I got three little children and a very sickly wife." Spoken: Didn't make no difference. Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh, he shot that poor boy so bad, Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass. |
