(J. Fogerty)
|
Woke up early feelin' light, (Shame, it's a shame.)
|
Somebody got to me last night, (Shame, it's a shame.)
|
Sat down for a friendly duel, (Shame, it's a shame.)
|
With one-eyed jacks 'n' jokers, too, (Shame, it's a shame.)
|
CHORUS:
|
Ooh, sailor man, (Shame, it's a shame.)
|
Ooh, sailor man. (Shame, it's a shame.)
|
|
Poormouth Henry turned on me, (Shame, it's a shame.)
|
Said, "Boy, I'm gonna pick you clean." (Shame, it's a shame.)
|
|
CHORUS
|
Oh!
|
|
Henry said, "Don't you mess that pile," (Shame, it's a shame.)
|
Had three aces 'n' he had five. (Shame, it's a shame.)
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Shame, it's a shame.
|
(repeat 5x)
