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

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)
