Sailor’s Lament

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 on 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)
