Jimmy Barnes - Stagger Lee lyrics

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 bulldog bark He was barkin' at the two men who was gamblin' in the dark It was stagger lee and billy, they were two men gambling Stagger lee threw a seven, billy swore that he threw an eight Stagger lee told 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 forty-four Said I'm goin' to the barroom got to pay the debt I owe Stagger lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door He said nobody move and he pulled that forty-four Stagger lee heard billy say please don't take my life I've got three hungry children and a very happy wife Stagger lee shot billy, well he shot that boy so bad That the bullet went though billy and it broke the bartender's gla** That's got to teach you a lesson some how
