Stagger Lee
(专辑: Four Chords & Several Years Ago - 1994)
The
night was clear, and the
moon was yellow And the
leaves came tumbling down... I
was standing on the
corner When I
heard my bull dog bark. He was barking 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. "Stagger Lee," said Billy, "I can't let you go with that. "You have won all my money, "And my brand-new Stetson hat." Stagger Lee went home And he got his .44. He said, "I'm going to the
ballroom "Just to pay that debt I
owe." Go, Stagger Lee Stagger Lee went to the
ballroom And he strolled across the
ballroom floor. He said "You did me wrong, Billy." And he pulled his .44. "Stagger Lee," said Billy, "Oh, please don't take my life! "I've got three hungry children, "And a
very sickly wife." Stagger Lee shot Billy Oh, he shot that poor boy so hard That a
bullet went through Billy And broke the
bartender's bar. Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee! Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee! [to fade]
