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 hime 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 im 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
|
