Stagger Lee versuri

Stagger Lee lyrics by Terry Melcher

Verse 1
Standing on the corner, I heard my bulldog bark
He was barking at the two men who were gambling in the dark
Stagger Lee and Billy, just two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee, he threw a seven, Billy swore he saw an eight

Verse 2
Stagger Lee went home, and they say he got that big old .44
Said, „I’m goin’ to that barroom, I’m gonna pay that debt I owe”
„Stagger Lee,” cried Billy, „Oh, please don’t take my life”
„Cause I got so many children and a very sickly wife”

Verse 3
Stagger Lee, he shot poor Billy, oh he shot that boy so bad
When thosе bullets went through Billy, they brokе the bartender’s glass
He should’ve taken it, should’ve taken it real slow

Outro
(Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
(Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
(Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
(Go Stagger Lee)
