Here's a, here's a song that didn't make it to Soul Deep
But, it's eh, it's actually our favourite of the set I think
Except this bit
The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down
I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at two men who was gamblin' in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, they were two men gamblin' late
Stagger lee threw a seven, Billy swore that he threw eight
Stagger Lee, cried "Billy, I can't let you go with that"
"You done won all my money, my brand new stetson hat"
Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four
Said I'm goin' to the barroom got to pay that debt I owe
Come on, pay that debt one time
(Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
(Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
(Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
(Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across that barroom door
Said nobody move then he pulled his forty-four
"Stagger Lee" cried Billy, "well please don't take my life"
I got three hungry children and a very happy wife
Stagger Lee shot Billy, well he shot that boy so bad
That the bullet went though Billy and it broke the bartender's glass
That's got to teach you a lesson there somewhere, come on
(Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
(Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
(Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
(Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee)
