Album:
Hanapepe Dream
The night was clear and the moon was yellow And the leaves came tumbling down I was standin' on the corner When I heard my bull dog bark He was barkin' at the two men Who were gamblin' in the dark


Stagger Lee and Billy Two men who gambled late Stagger Lee threw a seven Billy swore that he threw an eight


Stagger Lee told Billy I can't let you go with that You have won all my money And my brand new stetson hat


Stagger Lee went home And he got his forty four Said, I'm gonna to the bar Just to pay that debt I owe


Blew them, six Stagger Lee, Stagger Lee


Stagger Lee went to the bar room And he stood across the bar room door Said, now, nobody move Then he pulled his forty four


Stagger Lee, cried Billy Ohh, please don't take my life I've got three little children And a very sickly wife


Well, Stagger Lee shot Billy Ohh, he shot that poor boy so bad So the bullet came through Billy And it broke the bartender's glass


Hate that thing on most hands Stagger Lee, 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, go, Stagger Lee
