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)

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)

Ooh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame)
Ooh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame)
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)

Ooh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame)
Ooh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame)

Shame, it's a shame
Shame, it's a shame
Shame, it's a shame
Shame, it's a shame
Shame, it's a shame
