Adapted from
Stag' Lee written by [Traditional] - "The night was clear and the moon was yellow"
Comments
Revised the opening lyrics and tune -
The night was clear
And the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin'
In the dark
