Lyrics for Song: Henry Nearly Killed Me (It's A Shame)
Lyrics for Album: Gossip in the Grain [2008]



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



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



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

I said 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



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
