Verse: 
G                 C     G 
Woke up early feelin' light 
         D  C   G 
Shame, it's a shame 
                    C    G 
Somebody got to me last night 
         D  C   G 
Shame, it's a shame 
 
Sat down for a friendly duel 
Shame, it's a shame 
With one-eyed jacks and jokers, too 
Shame, it's a shame 
 
 
Chorus: 
        C    G 
Ooh, sailor man 
        D   C   G 
Shame, it's a shame  
       C     G 
Ooh, sailor man 
        D   C   G 
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  
 
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 
 
Enjoy!
