lots of posts about craps
these are the lyrics to a song about a street craps game
The Ballad of StaggerLee
I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at the people
Who was gamblin' in the dark
StaggerLee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
StaggerLee rolled a 7
Billy claimed it was an 8
StaggerLee - cried Billy
You know you shouldn't do that
You took all my money
And my brand new Stetson hat
StaggerLee went home
And he loaded up his 44
He said I'm going to the barroom
To pay that debt I owe
StaggerLee got to the barroom
And he strode across the barroom floor
StaggerLee cried Billy
Please don't take my life
I've got 3 little children
And a very sickly wife
Stagger Lee shot Billy
He shot that poor boy so bad
The bullet went thru his body
And it broke the bartender's glass
Yes, it broke the bartender's glass

I find those lyrics confusing. Seemed like Stagger Lee took all of Billy’s money and his Stetson hat. But then Stagger Lee also seems like he lost so went and got his gun.

I recall very-slightly-different lyrics from when the song was popular. In this thread presentation, there is also likely some confusion as to which party is making what comments. For example, in the fifth couplet, I think that Stagger Lee cried "Billy" and accused him of improperly claiming (in the previous couplet) that the 7 that Lee rolled was an 8. (I remember the lyrics for the second line of that fifth couplet being "I can't let you go with that.")
So with this interpretation of who said what, it was Billy who took all of Stagger Lee's money, perhaps improperly, along with Stagger Lee's hat, leading Stagger Lee to go home and get armed. In the tenth couplet, as I recall, it is Billy who cried "Stagger Lee, please don't take my life", etc. Lots of possible confusion when you leave out the quotation marks and commas.

link to original post
according to the link, which is pretty interesting and has other commentary, there are 170 different versions of the song
originally it was a folk tune called "Ballad of Stack - O - Lee"___________so confusion is understandable
and it was inspired by a real person - Texas born Lee Shelton - nicknamed Stagger Lee - a gambler who shot and killed Billy Lyons on Christmas night in 1895
I wrote what I did from memory - it probably isn't 100% correct and doesn't exactly match any version
anyway - what a great song

There is a sequel to the song where a woman seeks revenge on Stagger for shooting her boyfriend Billy in the head after Billy won Stagger's lucky hat. After the police won't do anything to Stagger, she takes matters into her own hands and shoots him in the balls.

Quote: Sammy Davis Jr. (on the lifestyle of The Rat Pack in 1958)
We gamble. There's nothing else to do in Vegas. Man, it's like Baghdad. You can't sleep. All the chicks are after loot. So you sing, and what else do you do? Sometimes, Dean and Frank sit in for the dealers. It must cost the house $1,000 every time. They see a little old schoolteacher making a bet and they slip her the good cards and let her win big.
Not a "great" quote perhaps but insightful into 50's Vegas.

Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love… true love never dies…. Doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.

the lyrics from the only Kenny Rogers song I ever liked - and I liked it a lot
I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Someone painted "april fool" in big black letters on a "dead end" sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah yeah oh-yeah

I believe this was in an episode of Magnum PI (with Tom Selleck). I don’t recall the character who said it…
“The wise old owl sat in the oak.
The more he saw, the less he spoke.
The less he spoke, the more he heard.
Why can’t we all be (more?) like that bird?”

It’s a dog eat dog world.
…Or maybe it’s the other way around!

"A new report says that dogs can sniff out prostate cancer with almost 98 percent accuracy. The report also finds that cats can sniff it out with 100 percent accuracy, but they prefer to watch you die." – Conan O’Brien
