["And the leaves came tumbling down","","\"You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat\"","He said \"I can't get you Billy but don't be here when I come back\"","It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late","I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark","The night was clear and the moon was yellow","","Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad","Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight","Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass","Stagger Lee started off goin' down that railroad track","","Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four","Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door","","Stagger Lee told Billy, \"I can't let you go with that\"","Said \"I'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe\"","He said \"Nobody move\" and he pulled his forty-four","He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark"]
