Stagger Lee met Billy, and they got down to gambling
Stagger Lee throwed seven, Billy said that he throwed eight, hey
So Billy said, "Hey Stagger, I'm gonna make my big attack
I'm gonna have to leave my knife in your back" (c'mon, let's start all over again)
Why do you try to cheat and trample people under your feet?
(Don't ya' know it is wrong) to cheat the tryin' man?
(Don't ya' know it is wrong) to cheat the tryin' man?
But you better stop, it is the wrong 'em boyo
You lie, steal, cheat and deceit in such a small, small game
(Don't ya' know it is wrong) to cheat the tryin' man?
(Don't ya' know it is wrong) to cheat the tryin' man?
You better stop, it is the wrong 'em boyo
Billy Boy has been shot, and Stagger Lee's come out on top
(Don't ya' know it is wrong) to cheat the tryin' man?
(Don't ya' know it is wrong) to cheat the tryin' man?
You'd better stop, hey, it is the wrong 'em boyo, hey
So you must start all over again, all over again
(Don't ya' know it is wrong?) Play it, Billy, play
(Don't ya' know it is wrong?) Well, play it, Billy, play
You will find, it is the right 'em boyo
But if you must lie and deceit and trample people under your feet
(Don't ya' know it is wrong) to cheat the tryin' man?
(Don't ya' know it is wrong) to cheat the tryin' man?
You better stop, it is the wrong 'em boyo, hey
It is the wrong 'em boyo
It is the wrong 'em boyo
It is the wrong 'em -
It is the wrong 'em boyo
The wrong 'em boyo
