sailors lament (Text & musik: John Fogerty) 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)
