Sailor’s Lament.Mp3 Songtext
von Creedence Clearwater Revival

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

Oh, sailor man
Shame, it's a shame
Oh, sailor man
Shame, it′s a shame

Poormouth Henry turned to me
Shame, it's a shame
Said, "Boy, I′m gonna pick you clean"
Shame, it's a shame


Oh, sailor man
Shame, it′s a shame
Oh, sailor man
Shame, it's a shame

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

Oh, sailor man
Shame, it's a shame
Oh, sailor man
Shame, it′s a shame
Oh, sailor man
Shame, it's a shame

Shame, it′s a shame
Shame, it's a shame
Shame, it's a shame
Shame, it′s a shame
Shame, it′s a shame
Shame, it's a shame
