Creedence Clearwater Revival (ccr) Sailors Lament Lyrics

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)
