SAILOR'S LAMENT Lyrics

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)
