Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR)-Sailors 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

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)
