Stagger Lee The Fabulous Thunderbirds

The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumblin' down

I was standin' on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
And he was barkin' up at the two men
Who were gamblin' in the dark

It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw a seven
Billy swore, he threw an eight

Stagger Lee told Billy
"I can't let you get away with that
Well, you've won all my money
And my brand new Stetson hat"

Stagger Lee ran home
Went and got him his 44
Said, "I'm going to the bar room
Just to pay that debt that I owe"

Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee
Said, "I'm going to the bar room
Just to pay that debt that I owe"
