Stagger Lee - Live At The Enmore

The night was clear and the moon was yellow
As the leaves came tumbling down

I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at two men who was gamblin' in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, they were two men gambling
Stagger lee threw a seven, Billy swore that he threw eight

Stagger Lee, cried "Billy, I can't let you go with that
You done won all my money and my brand new stetson hat"
Stagger Lee went home and he got that forty-four
Said I'm goin' to that bar gonna pay that debt I owe
Come on, pay that debt one time, hey, oh

Oh yeah, let's hear you

Listen
Stagger Lee went to the bar and he stood across that barroom door
He said "nobody move" and he pulled his forty-four
"Stagger Lee" cried Billy, "well, said please don't take my life
I've got three hungry children and a very needy wife"
Listen, you know what?
Stagger Lee shot Billy, yes he shot that boy so bad
That the bullet went though Billy and it broke the bartender's glass
Yes, it did
"You know he's got a lesson to learn", that's what that boy's got down and said

(Go Stagger Lee) I said (go Stagger Lee) oh yeah (go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
I said (go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee) I said go... (go Stagger Lee)
(Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
I said (go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee) play it some more, come on

That's an hour
