Lyrics for Sailor's Lament
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 Oh, sailor man Shame, it's a shame Oh, sailor man Shame, it's a shame Poormouth Henry turned to me Shame, it's a shame Said, "Boy, I'm gonna pick you clean" Shame, it's a shame Oh, sailor man Shame, it's a shame Oh, sailor man Shame, it's a shame 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 Oh, sailor man Shame, it's a shame Oh, sailor man Shame, it's a shame Oh, sailor man Shame, it's a shame Shame, it's a shame Shame, it's a shame Shame, it's a shame Shame, it's a shame Shame, it's a shame Shame, it's a shame
