Sailor's Lament

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.)



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.)



Ooh, sailor man,

(Shame, it's a shame.)

Ooh, sailor man.

(Shame, it's a shame.)



Shame, it's a shame.

(repeat 5x)
