Henry Nearly Killed Me (It's a Shame)
All my life I been poor boy son
Scratchin' for my meat
I have been kicked in my teeth
Till the blood run hot and sweet
I seen a lot of living my friend
And this I will repeat
Just because you knock a man down
Don't mean that you got him beat
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
Henry nearly killed me
'Fore they hauled his ass in jail
Slapped me right across my face
With a flour sack full o' nails
Nearly broke my head in two
With his steel-toed boots
Shovin' all that money
Down the laundry chute
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Cryin' shame
Well, sweet little Mary Anne
With her make-up all a mess
Picks herself up off the floor
Coughs and straightens her dress
Sayin' please, please daddy, can I
Have just a little bit more
Sorry baby, but I'm headin' out
Somehow this town don't feel like home anymore
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
I've seen a lot of living my friend
And this I will repeat
Just because you knock a man down
Don't mean you got him beat
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby
Scratchin' for my meat
I have been kicked in my teeth
Till the blood run hot and sweet
I seen a lot of living my friend
And this I will repeat
Just because you knock a man down
Don't mean that you got him beat
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
Henry nearly killed me
'Fore they hauled his ass in jail
Slapped me right across my face
With a flour sack full o' nails
Nearly broke my head in two
With his steel-toed boots
Shovin' all that money
Down the laundry chute
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Cryin' shame
Well, sweet little Mary Anne
With her make-up all a mess
Picks herself up off the floor
Coughs and straightens her dress
Sayin' please, please daddy, can I
Have just a little bit more
Sorry baby, but I'm headin' out
Somehow this town don't feel like home anymore
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
I've seen a lot of living my friend
And this I will repeat
Just because you knock a man down
Don't mean you got him beat
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
Baby
