Stagger Lee met Billy and they go down to gambling Stagger Lee throwed seven Billy said that
he throwed eight So Billy said, hey Stagger! I'm gonna make my big attack I'm gonna have to
leave my knife in your back Why do you try to cheat? And trample people under your feet Don't
you know it is wrong? To cheat the trying man So you better stop, it is the wrong 'em boyo You
lie, steal, cheat and deceit In such a small, small game Don't you know it is wrong Billy Boy has
been shot And Stagger Lee's come out on top Don't you know it is wrong To cheat the trying
man To cheat Stagger man You'd better stop So you must start all over again-all over again You
