[00:22.81] The night was clear and the moon was yellow
[00:28.35] And the leaves came tumblin' down
[00:30.05] I was standing on a corner
[00:33.97] When I heard my bull dog bark
[00:37.39] He was barking at two men
[00:41.01] Who were gambling in the dark
[00:45.99] It was Stagger Lee and Billy
[00:49.81] Two men who gambled late
[00:52.05] Stagger Lee threw a seven
[00:54.32] Billy swore that he threw eight
[00:58.08] Stagger Lee he told Billy
[01:03.04] I can't let you go with that
[01:06.44] You won all o' my money
[01:10.98] And my brand new Stetson hat
[01:14.97] Stagger Lee started off walking
[01:23.62] Down that old railroad track
[01:26.20] He turned and told Billy
[01:29.06] Don't be here when I come back
[01:30.79] Then old Stagger Lee he went home
[01:34.28] And he got his forty-four
[01:37.20] He said I'm going down to the barroom
[01:41.62] To pay that debt I owe
[01:46.20] BridgeGo Stagger Lee
[01:47.41] Stagger Lee went to the barroom
[01:50.57] Walked across that barroom floor
[01:52.46] He said Now nobody move
[01:54.80] And he pulled out his forty-four
[02:00.02] Oh Stagger Lee cried Billy
[02:01.91] Please don't take my life
[02:03.40] I got three little children
[02:06.21] And a very sickly wife
[02:10.08] Stagger Lee shot Billy
[02:11.71] Oh he shot that poor boy so bad
[02:14.30] Till the bullet went through Billy
[02:17.96] And it broke the bartender's glass
