Verse 1
(C major) (F major)
(C major) (G major) (C major) I remember one September,
cold and frosty night,
Stacker Lee and Billy the Lion
(F major) had a great fight.
Crime when you (C major) lose your (G major) money,
learn to (C major) lose.
Stack a leaf, shot six bits,
bill and irons, bet he pass
Stack out with a four to five,
(F major) says you've shot your last
Cryin' when you (C major) lose (G major) your money,
learn (C major) to lose
Woman comes a -runnin',
fell down on her knees
Cryin' Lord Godness,
stack a leaf,
(F major) don't shoot my brother
Please, when you lose (G major) your money,
learn (C major) to lose
Talk about some gambler,
ought to see my Richard leave
Shot one thousand dollars
and (F major) come out on a three
Cryin' when you (C major) lose (G major) your money,
learn to lose (C major) (G major) (F major) (G major)

Snaggly got his pistol, boy he got it fast

How in the world can we bring

Office head for the militia
Wagon's come, loaded up with pistols

Standin' on his gallows,

Cryin' when you lose (G major) your money,
learn (C major) to lose (G major) (F major) (G major)

There's a great big rumble
in the underground,
