Stagger Lee(original) |
The night was clear, and the moon was yellow |
And the leaves came tumblin' 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 |
It was Stagger Lee and Billy |
Two men who gambled late |
Stagger lee threw a seven |
Billy swore that he threw eight |
«Stagger Lee,» said 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 .44 |
He said, «I'm goin' to the ballroom |
«Just to pay that debt I owe.» |
Go, Stagger Lee |
Stagger Lee went to the ballroom |
And he strolled across the ballroom floor |
He said «You did me wrong, Billy.» |
And he pulled his .44 |
«Stagger Lee,» said Billy |
«Oh, please don’t take my life! |
«I've got three hungry children |
«And a very sickly wife.» |
Stagger Lee shot Billy |
Oh, he shot that poor boy so hard |
That a bullet went through Billy |
And broke the bartender’s bar |
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee! |
Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee! |
(to fade) |
(traducción) |
La noche era clara, y la luna era amarilla. |
Y las hojas se derrumbaron... |
yo estaba parado en la esquina |
Cuando escuché ladrar a mi perro toro |
Él estaba ladrando a los dos hombres |
¿Quiénes estaban jugando en la oscuridad? |
Eran Stagger Lee y Billy |
Dos hombres que jugaron tarde |
Stagger Lee lanzó un siete |
Billy juró que tiró ocho |
"Stagger Lee", dijo Billy |
«No puedo dejarte ir con eso |
«Te has ganado todo mi dinero |
«Y mi nuevo sombrero Stetson». |
Stagger Lee se fue a casa |
Y él consiguió su .44 |
Él dijo: «Voy al salón de baile |
«Solo para pagar esa deuda que debo». |
Vamos, Stagger Lee |
Stagger Lee fue al salón de baile |
Y paseó por el piso del salón de baile |
Él dijo: «Me hiciste mal, Billy». |
Y sacó su .44 |
"Stagger Lee", dijo Billy |
«¡Oh, por favor, no me quites la vida! |
«Tengo tres niños hambrientos |
«Y una mujer muy enfermiza». |
Stagger Lee disparó a Billy |
Oh, le disparó tan fuerte a ese pobre chico |
Que una bala atravesó a Billy |
Y rompió la barra del cantinero |
¡Vamos, Stagger Lee, vamos, Stagger Lee! |
¡Vamos, Stagger Lee, vamos, Stagger Lee! |
