Stagger Lee Lyrics - September Morn - Neil Diamond

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 up at the two men 

Who were gambling in the dark 

It was Stagger Lee and Billy 

Two men who gambled late 

Stagger Lee threw a seven 

Billy swore, he threw an eight 

Stagger Lee told "Billy, 

I can't let you get away with that 

Well, you've won all my money 

And my brand new stetson hat"

Stagger Lee ran home 

Went and got him his 44 

Said, "I'm going to the bar room 

Just to pay that debt that I owe" 

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee 

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee 

Said, "I' m going to the bar room 

Just to pay that debt that I owe" 

Stagger Lee went to the bar room 

Boy, he stood across the bar room floor 

Said, "now, nobody move" 

And he pulled out his 44 

"Stagger Lee", cried Billy 

"Oh, please don't you take my life 

I got me three little children 

And a very sickly wife" 

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee 

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee 

"got me three little children 

And a very, very sickly wife" 

Stagger Lee shot Billy 

Boy, he shot that poor boy so bad 

That the bullet came thru Billy 

And went right thru the bartender's glass 

While I was standing on the corner 

When I heard my bulldog bark 

He was barking up at the two men 

Who were gambling in the dark 

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee 

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee 

Well, he was barking up at the two men 

Who were gambling in the dark
