Well, I remember one September,
Cold and frosty night,
Mr. Stagolee an' Billy Lyon
Had a great fight.

Cryin', when you lose your money, learn to lose.

Ol' Billy Lyon shot six bits,
Stagolee bet he'd pass,
Stagolee out with his forty—five,
sayin' "You done shot your last."

When you lose your money, learn to lose.

Well, a woman come a-runnin',
Fell down on her knees,
Cryin' 'Oh Mr. Stagolee,
Don’t shoot my brother, please.'

When you lose your money, learn to lose.

It was way down in the gamblin' hall
Fightin' on the floor,
Old Stagolee pulled the trigger
Of that smokin' forty-four

When you lose your money, learn to lose.

Well, you talkin' 'bout some gamblers,
You oughta seen Richard Lee,
He bet one thousand dollars,
Then he come out on a three.

Cryin', when you lose your money, learn to lose.

Old Billy Lyon said to Stagolee
"Please don't take my life
I got two little babes
And a darlin' lovin' wife."

When you lose your money, learn to lose.

"Now, what I care 'bout your two little babes
And your darlin lovin wife?
Boy, you done took my Stetson hat
And I'm bound to take your life.

When you lose your money, learn to lose.

Gentlemen of the jury
What you think about that?
Ol' Stagolee killed Billy Lyon
About a five dollar Stetson hat.

When you lose your money, learn to lose.

Well, the judge said
"Mr. Stagolee, Mr. Stagolee
I'm gonna lock your body up
And set your spirit free."

When you lose your money, learn to lose.
