Henry Nearly Killed Me (It's a Shame) (with The Pariah Dogs) - Live - Fall 2010

Lyrics

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 hime 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 im 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
