Who were gamblin' in the dark.

And he got his .

Just to pay that debt I owe." Go, Stagger Lee Stagger Lee went to the ballroom

And he pulled his .
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)
