Sailor's Lament

(J. C. Fogerty)



Woke up early feelin' light (shame, it's a shame)

Somebody got 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



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 2ce
