Henry Nearly Killed Me (It's a Shame)

All my life I've been poor boy son, scratching for my meat

I have been kicked in my teeth till the blood run hot and sweet

Seen a lot of living my friends and this I will repeat

Just because you knock a man down don't mean that you got him beatIt's a shame, shame, shame

Baby, it's a crying shame

It's a shame, shame, shame

Baby, it's a crying shameHenry nearly killed me 'fore they hauled his ass in jail

Slapped me right across my face with a flour sack full o' nails

Nearly broke my head in two with his steel toed boots

Shoving all that money down the laundry chuteListen, it's a shame, shame, shame

Baby, it's a crying shame

It's a shame, shame, shame

A crying shameSweet little Mary Anne with her make up all a mess

Picks herself up off the floor coughs and straightens her dress

Saying please, please daddy, can I have just a little bit more?

I said sorry baby, but I'm heading out

Somehow this town don't feel like home anymoreIt's a shame, shame, shame

Baby, it's a crying shame

It's a shame, shame, shame

Baby, it's a crying shameIt's a shame, shame, shame

Baby, it's a crying shame

It's a shame, shame, shame

Baby, it's a crying shameI've seen a lot of living my friend this I will repeat

Just because you knock a man down don't mean that you got him beatIt's a shame, shame, shame

Baby, it's a crying shame

It's a shame, shame, shame

Baby, it's a crying shameShame, shame, shame

It's a shame, shame, shame
