Stag-o-lee Lyrics - 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
