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 and 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
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
