Sailor's Lament

[Verse 1]

Woke up early feeling 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)

[Verse 2]

Poormouth Henry turned on me (Shame, it's a shame)

Said, "Boy, I'm going to pick you clean." (Shame, it's a shame)

[Chorus]

Ooh, sailor man (Shame, it's a shame)

Ooh, sailor man (Shame, it's a shame)

Oh!

[Verse 3]

Henry said, "Don't you mess that pile" (Shame, it's a shame)

Had three aces and he had five (Shame, it's a shame)

[Chorus]

Ooh, sailor man (Shame, it's a shame)

Ooh, sailor man (Shame, it's a shame)

[Outro]

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
