Stagger Lee

La noche estaba clara y la luna era amarillaThe night was clear and the moon was yellow
Y las hojas caíanAnd the leaves came tumbling down

Estaba parado en la esquinaI was standing on the corner
Cuando escuché ladrar a mi perro bulldogWhen I heard my bulldog bark
Él ladraba a los dos hombresHe was barking up at the two men
Que estaban jugando a oscurasWho were gambling in the dark

Era Stagger Lee y BillyIt was Stagger Lee and Billy
Dos hombres que jugaban tardeTwo men who gambled late
Stagger Lee tiró un sieteStagger Lee threw a seven
