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 hugging in the dark

It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Billy took four stars at state
He said you did me wrong Billy
That's one thing that I hate

Stagger Lee told Billy
I can't let you go with that
Because I loan you my money
My girl I want her back

Look out Stagg

Stagger Lee went home
And he fell down on the floor
He said Billy did me wrong
And I don't wanna see him any more

Oh Billy he felt bad
Because he hurt his boyfriend Stagg
I'm gonna give him his girl friend
And everything that I had

Stagger Lee and Billy
Never fuss or fight no more
Because he got back his girl friend
And Stagger Lee was no more sore

Look out Stagg ho on now

Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
