Woke up early feelinī light, (Shame, itīs a shame.)
Somebody got to me last night, (Shame, itīs a shame.)
Sat down for a friendly duel, (Shame, itīs a shame.)
With one-eyed jacks īnī jokers, too, (Shame, itīs a shame.)
[Chorus:]
Ooh, sailor man, (Shame, itīs a shame.)
Ooh, sailor man. (Shame, itīs a shame.)
Poormouth Henry turned on me, (Shame, itīs a shame.)
Said, "Boy, Iīm gonna pick you clean." (Shame, itīs a shame.)
[Chorus]
Oh!
Henry said, "Donīt you mess that pile," (Shame, itīs a shame.)
Had three aces īnī he had five. (Shame, itīs a shame.)
[Chorus]
Shame, itīs a shame.
(repeat 5x)
