Ray Lamontagne - Henry nearly killed me its a shame

^EAll my life been poor boy son ^EScratchin' for my meat ^EI have been kicked in my teeth ^ETill the blood run hot and sweet

^ESeen a lot of livin’ my friends ^EThis I will repeat ^EJust because you knock a man down ^EDon't mean that you got him beat

^EIt's a shame, shame, shame ^EBaby it's a cryin' shame ^EIt's a shame, shame, shame ^EBaby it's a cryin' shame

^EHenry nearly killed me, ^E'Fore they hauled his ass in jail ^ESlapped me right across my face ^EWith a flour sack full o' nails

^ENearly broke my head in two ^EWith his steel-toed boots ^EShovin' all that money ^EDown the laundry chute

^EIt's a shame, shame, shame ^EBaby it's a cryin' shame ^EIt's a shame, shame, shame ^ECryin' shame

^ESweet little Mary Anne ^EWith her make-up all a mess ^EPicks herself up off the floor ^ECoughs and straightens her dress

^ESayin' please, please daddy ^ECan I have just a little bit more ^ESaid sorry baby, but I'm headin' out ^ESomehow this town don't feel like home anymore

^EIt's a shame, shame, shame ^EBaby it's a cryin' shame ^EIt's a shame, shame, shame ^EBaby it's a cryin' shame ^EIt's a shame, shame, shame ^EBaby it's a cryin' shame ^EIt's a shame, shame, shame ^EBaby it's a cryin' shame

^ESeen a lot of living my friend ^EThis I will repeat ^EJust because you knock a man down ^EDon't mean that you got him beat

^EIt's a shame, shame, shame ^EBaby it's a cryin' shame ^EIt's a shame, shame, shame ^EBaby it's a cryin' shame ^EShame, shame, shame ^EIt's a shame, shame, shame
