Letra de Henry Nearly Killed Me (It's a Shame)
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 sweetI seen a lot of living my friend And this I will repeat Just because you knock a man down Don't mean that you got him beatIt's a shame, shame, shame Baby it's a cryin' shame It's a shame, shame, shame Baby it's a cryin' shameHenry nearly killed me 'Fore they hauled his ass in jail Slapped me right across my face With a flour sack full o' nailsNearly broke my head in two With his steel-toed boots Shovin' all that money Down the laundry chuteIt's a shame, shame, shame Baby it's a cryin' shame It's a shame, shame, shame Cryin' shameWell, sweet little Mary Anne With her make-up all a mess Picks herself up off the floor Coughs and straightens her dressSayin' please, please daddy, can I Have just a little bit more Sorry baby, but I'm headin' out Somehow this town don't feel like home anymoreIt'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' shameI've seen a lot of living my friend And this I will repeat Just because you knock a man down Don't mean you got him 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 It's a shame, shame, shame Baby
