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 I 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 beat It's a shame,shame, shame Baby it's a cryin' shame Henry nearly killed me, 'Fore they hauled his ass in jail Slapped me right across my face With a flour sack full o' nails Nearly broke my head in two With his steel-toed boots Shovin' all that money Down the laundry chute It's a shame,shame,shame Baby it's a cryin' shame Well, 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 I'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
