Stagger Lee threw a seven Billy stole that heap away Oh where's Stagger Lee, poor Stagger Lee Poor Stagger Lee, poor Stagger Lee Poor Stagger Lee, poor Stagger Lee Poor Stagger Lee, Oh I tell you Stagger Lee, he told Billy I can't let you go with that You won all of my money And a brand new cadillac Stagger Lee started off Walking down by the railroad track He turned and told Billy ”Don't be here when I come back” Oh poor Stagger Lee, poor Stagger Lee Poor Stagger Lee, poor Stagger Lee Poor Stagger Lee, poor Stagger Lee, oh oh oh oh Then old Stagger Lee, he went home And he got his forty-four He said, ”I'm going down to that bar room Just to pay that debt I owe” And then Stagger Lee went in the bar room And he stood across that bar room floor He said, ”Don't nobody move” And he pulled out his forty-four Then Billy, Billy cried ”Stop, Oh please Stag, please don't take my life I've got three little children And a very sickly wife” Oh but, oh Stagger Lee, he shot Billy Oh he shot that poor boy so bad The bullets went through Billy And broke the... in his glass Oh poor Stagger Lee, poor Stagger Lee...
