Henry Nearly Killed Me (It's A Shame) lyrics
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 beat It's a shame, shame, shame Baby, it's a crying shame It's a shame, shame, shame Baby, it's a crying shame Henry 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 chute Listen, it's a shame, shame, shame Baby, it's a crying shame It's a shame, shame, shame A crying shame Sweet 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 anymore It's a shame, shame, shame Baby, it's a crying shame It's a shame, shame, shame Baby, it's a crying shame It's a shame, shame, shame Baby, it's a crying shame It's a shame, shame, shame Baby, it's a crying shame I'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 beat It's a shame, shame, shame Baby, it's a crying shame It's a shame, shame, shame Baby, it's a crying shame Shame, shame, shame It's a shame, shame, shame
