Stagger Lee - Frankie Franken (Javalins)
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 barking upat the two men who were gambling 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 going down that railroad track
He said I can't get you Billy but don't be worry I'll come back
Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four
Said I'm going 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 to say
Oh please don't take my life
I've got three hungry children
A and very sickly wife
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
Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee go Stagger Lee
