Creedence Clearwater Revival Lyrics

"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.)

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
Lyrics
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)
