Sailor's Lament Lyrics

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)

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)

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

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)

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

Shame, it's a shame
