Huey Lewis and The News - Stagger Lee слова песни
The night was clear, and the moon was yellowAnd the leaves came tumblin` down. . .I was standin` on the cornerWhen I heard my bull dog bark.He was barkin` at the two menWho were gamblin` 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."Stagger Lee," said Billy,"I can`t let you go with that."You have won all my money,"And my brand-new Stetson hat."Stagger Lee went homeAnd he got his .44.He said, "I`m goin` to the ballroom"Just to pay that debt I owe."(bridge)Go, Stagger LeeStagger Lee went to the ballroomAnd he strolled across the ballroom floor.He said "You did me wrong, Billy."And he pulled his .44."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 BillyOh, he shot that poor boy so hardThat a bullet went through BillyAnd broke the bartender`s bar.Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee!Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee!(to fade)
