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 -end- |
