Stag-O-Lee
Wilson Pickett

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 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

Stagger Lee, cried Billy

Oh, please don't take my life

I've got three little children and a 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 bar

Tender's glass
