"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 hime beatIt's a shame,shame,shame
Baby it's a cryin' shameHenry nearly killed me,
'Fore they hauled his a*s 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' 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
I said sorry baby, but im headin' out
Somehow this town don't feel like home anymoreIt'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
