[00:01.38]The night was clear and the moon was yellow
[00:06.81]And the leaves came tumbling down
[00:14.85]I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark
[00:21.09]He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark
[00:27.03]It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late
[00:32.94]Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight
[00:39.03]Stagger Lee told Billy, "I can't let you go with that"
[00:44.76]"You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat"
[00:50.64]Stagger Lee started off goin' down that railroad track
[00:58.20]He said "I can't get you Billy but don't be here when I come back"
[01:05.97]Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four
[01:09.75]Said "I'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe"
[01:22.50]Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door
[01:28.17]He said "Nobody move"and he pulled his forty-four
[01:39.24]Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad
[02:02.28]Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass
