The Isley Brothers - Stagger Lee lyrics

{Intro: Ronald Isley} The night was clear And the moon was yellow And the leaves came tumbling down {Verse 1: Ronald Isley} I was standing on the corner When I heard my bulldog bark He was barking up at the two men Who were gambling in the dark It was Stagger Lee and Billy Two men who gambled late Stagger Lee threw a seven Billy swore that he threw eight, oh Stagger Lee told Billy I said don't you go with that You done won all my money And my brand new Stetson hat, oh Stagger Lee went home And he got his forty-four He said "Don't nobody move Just to I'm gonna pay that debt I owе" Go on, Stagger Lee, get down now {Instrumental break} {Verse 2: Ronald Isley} Ah, Stagger Lee wеnt to the barroom And he stood by the barroom door He said "Don't nobody move" And he pulled his forty-four, oh oh "Stagger Lee" cried Billy "I said please don't take my life I got me three little children And a very sickly wife." Oh oh Stagger Lee shot Billy Oh, he shot that poor boy so bad 'Til the bullet went through Billy And it broke the bartender's glass Yeah, ah, Stagger Lee, go on now {Outro: The Isley Brothers, Ronald Isley} Go Stagger Lee Go Stagger Lee (Woo) Go Stagger Lee (Woo) (Go on Stagger Lee) Go Stagger Lee (Woo) Go Stagger Lee (Woo) Go Stagger Lee (Woo) Go Stagger Lee (Woo) Go Stagger Lee (Woo) (Go on Stagger Lee, yeah) Go Stagger Lee (Woo) Go Stagger Lee (Woo) Go Stagger Lee (Woo) Go Stagger Lee (Woo)
