Stagger Lee Songtext
von Tommy Roe

I was standing on a corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
He was barking at two men who were gambling
In the dark, yeah

Now Stagger Lee and Billy
The two men who gamble late
Stagger Lee threw a seven
Billy swore that he threw eight
Well Stagger Lee, he told Billy
I can′t let you go with that
You done won all my money
And my brand new Stetson hat, yeah

So Stagger Lee, he went home
They got his .44
He said I'm going to the bar room
Just to pay that debt I owe, oh yeah
Now listen to me


Well Stagger Lee went to the bar room
Yeah, he stood across that bar room floor
He said to nobody move
And he pulled his .44, yeah
Well Stagger Lee, he shot Billy
Yeah, he shot that poor boy so bad
That the bullet went through Billy′s roof
And through the glass

Ghost Stagger Lee
Ghost Stagger Lee
Ghost Stagger Lee
Ghost Stagger Lee

Ghost Stagger Lee
Woo, yeah, Ghost Stagger Lee

I said Ghost Stagger Lee
Ghost Stagger Lee
Ghost Stagger Lee
I said Ghost Stagger Lee
Woo, yeah
I said Ghost Stagger Lee
