Howlin' Shame

We need to talk about Addie Mae
I seen her walking out the other day
And I been watching that girl wilt away

Bruised back, and blisterin'
There ain't no end to her sufferin'
And any good she had has gone to gray

It's a howlin' shame
A howlin' shame

Ooh, that girl's a ghost
Burnin' in a hell that don't nobody know
White flag twistin' in the wind
And at her best she's witherin'
And she all set for death, she can't be saved

It's a howlin' shame
A howlin' shame

Nobody could love her, nobody could care
'Cause she ran 'em all off with her get-back stare
Stay away, away, away
Away, away

A murder of crows, they followed her home
And they didn't leave much, just a bed of bones
Get away, away
Away, away, away

I'm a howlin' shame
A howlin' shame
I'm a howlin' shame
A howlin' shame

Howlin' shame
Howlin' shame
Howlin' shame
Howlin' shame
