Here are the lyrics to the Bandstand version, from a web site:

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 barking at the two men who was arguing in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, Billy took poor Stagger's date
He said you did me wrong Billy and that's one thing that I hate

Stagger Lee told Billy
I can't let you go with that
Because I loaned you my money
and my girl I want her back
Look out Stag

Stagger Lee went home and he fell down on the floor
He said Billy did me wrong and I don't wanna see him no more
Oh Billy felt bad because he hurt his poor friend Stag
I'm gonna give him his girlfriend and everything that I have

Stagger Lee and Billy never fuss or fight no more
Because he got back his girlfriend and Stagger Lee was no more sore

------------------

I'm sure the world became a better and safer place because some kids
were protected from the corrupting influence of the original.
