Ain`t That A Shame Lyrics

Ain`t That A Shame lyrics

I was sittin' here thinkin'

My mind way, away

I had a good home

But my woman run me away



Ain't that a shame?

Yes, ain't
that a shame?

Woman, you gon' 

Need my help someday



I
used to give my woman money

Deposit fives and tens

Now, them good
times are gone, babe

They'll never happen. again



Now, ain't
that a shame?

Lord, ain't that a shame?

Woman, you gon' 

Need
my help someday



'Play it once, play it once'



(instrumental & guitar)



Yas, yas



Now, I don't
mistreat nobody

'Cause you got a few dimes

You are up today,
rider

But you won't be up all the time



Ain't that a
shame?

Lord, ain't that a shame?

Woman, you gon' 

Need my
help someday



Lordy, Lordy

Now, Lordy, Lord

I used to
be yo' reg'lar

But now I gotten to be yo' dog



Now, ain't
that a shame?

Lord, ain't that a shame?

Woman, you gon

Need
my help someday 



Now when I was in jail

You was far away

But when you got the news

You said, 'Let old Washboard, stay'



Now, ain't that a shame?

Lord, ain't that a shame?

Woman, you
gon

Need my help someday.
