Sailors Lament Lyrics

                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)
