All my life I've been poor boy son, scratching for my meatI have been kicked in my teeth till the blood run hot and sweetSeen a lot of living my friends and this I will repeatJust because you knock a man down don't mean that you got him beatIt's a shame, shame, shameBaby, it's a crying shameIt's a shame, shame, shameBaby, it's a crying shameHenry nearly killed me 'fore they hauled his ass in jailSlapped me right across my face with a flour sack full o' nailsNearly broke my head in two with his steel toed bootsShoving all that money down the laundry chuteListen, it's a shame, shame, shameBaby, it's a crying shameIt's a shame, shame, shameA crying shameSweet little Mary Anne with her make up all a messPicks herself up off the floor coughs and straightens her dressSaying please, please daddy, can I have just a little bit more?I said sorry baby, but I'm heading outSomehow this town don't feel like home anymoreIt's a shame, shame, shameBaby, it's a crying shameIt's a shame, shame, shameBaby, it's a crying shameIt's a shame, shame, shameBaby, it's a crying shameIt's a shame, shame, shameBaby, it's a crying shameI've seen a lot of living my friend this I will repeatJust because you knock a man down don't mean that you got him beatIt's a shame, shame, shameBaby, it's a crying shameIt's a shame, shame, shameBaby, it's a crying shameShame, shame, shameIt's a shame, shame, shame
