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.)
