Stagger Lee

Album: Truly Jerry Lee Lewis Durasi: 2:21
[00:00.53]Ladies and gentlemen, a fine song done by somebody
[00:06.85]I don't know who but it's a great song anyway
[00:11.20]Hope you enjoy my version of it
[00:14.82]I was standing on the corner
[00:19.02]When I heard my bulldog bark
[00:22.85]He was barkin' at the two men
[00:25.42]Who were gamblin' in the dark
[00:30.06]It was Stagger Lee and Billy
[00:34.21]Two men who gambled late
[00:37.89]Stagger Lee threw seven
[00:40.45]Billy swore he threw eight
[00:45.38]Stagger Lee said, "Billy
[00:49.09]I can't let it go that way
[00:52.95]You have won all of my money
[00:55.04]And my brand-new Stetson hat", alright
[01:00.24]Stagger Lee told Billy
[01:03.94]"You gotta pay that debt you owe"
[01:07.94]He walked into the barroom
[01:09.98]And he, he threw out his .44
[01:14.44]Play it, Kenny
[01:17.31]🎵
[01:30.91]"Stagger Lee", cried Billy
[01:34.57]"Oh, please, don't take my life
[01:38.42]I got three little children
[01:40.32]And a very sickly wife"
[01:46.04]Stagger Lee shot Billy
[01:50.06]He shot that poor boy so dead
[01:53.97]That the bullet went through Billy
[01:55.79]And it broke the bartender's glass, yeah-yeah
[02:01.58]Stagger Lee, Stagger Lee
[02:05.12]Stagger Lee, Stagger Lee
[02:09.13]Stagger Lee, whoa
[02:11.78]Shot the bartender's glass
[02:15.94]🎵

[02:23.50]Aha, baby
[02:24.80]I guarantee you, got an eye on who got this record
