Translation of Sailor's lament by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Return to Sailor's lament by Creedence Clearwater Revival

From:

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)
