[Intro: Ronald Isley]
The night was clear
And the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down
[Verse 1: Ronald Isley]
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 that he threw eight, oh
Stagger Lee told Billy
I said don't you go with that
You done won all my money
And my brand new Stetson hat, oh
Stagger Lee went home
And he got his forty-four
He said "Don't nobody move
Just to I'm gonna pay that debt I owе"
Go on, Stagger Lee, get down now
[Instrumental break]
