Henry Nearly Killed Me (It's a Shame) - Ray LaMontagne

All my life I been poor boy son

Scratchin' for my meat

I have been kicked in my teeth

Till the blood run hot and sweet

Seen a lot of living my friend

This I will repeat

Just because you knock a man down

Don't mean that you got hime beat

It's a shame shame shame

Baby it's a cryin' shame

It's a shame shame shame

Baby it's a cryin' shame

Henry nearly killed me

'Fore they hauled his a** in jail

Slapped me right across my face

With a flour sack full o' nails

Nearly broke my head in two

With his steeltoed boots

Shovin' all that money

Down the laundry chute

It's a shame shame shame

Baby it's a cryin' shame

It's a shame shame shame

Cryin' shame

Sweet little Mary Anne

With her make up all a mess

Picks herself up off the floor

Coughs and straightens her dress

Sayin' please please daddy can I

Have just a little bit more

I said sorry baby but I'm headin' out

Somehow this town don't feel like home anymore

It's a shame shame shame

Baby it's a cryin' shame

It's a shame shame shame

Baby it's a cryin' shame

It's a shame shame shame

Baby it's a cryin' shame

It's a shame shame shame

Baby it's a cryin' shame

Seen a lot of living my friend

This I will repeat

Just because you knock a man down

Don't mean that you got him

It's a shame shame shame

Baby it's a cryin' shame

It's a shame shame shame

Baby it's a cryin' shame

It's a shame shame shame

It's a shame shame shame
