ray lamontagne - henry nearly killed me lyrics
all my life i’ve been poor boy son, scratching for my meat
i have been kicked in my teeth till the blood run hot and sweet
seen a lot of living my friends 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 crying shame
it’s a shame, shame, shame
baby, it’s a crying shame
henry nearly killed me ‘fore they hauled his -ss 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
shoving all that money down the laundry chute
listen, it’s a shame, shame, shame
baby, it’s a crying shame
it’s a shame, shame, shame
a crying shame
sweet little mary anne with her make up all a mess
picks herself up off the floor coughs and straightens her dress
saying please, please daddy, can i have just a little bit more?
i said sorry baby, but i’m heading out
somehow this town don’t feel like home anymore
it’s a shame, shame, shame
baby, it’s a crying shame
it’s a shame, shame, shame
baby, it’s a crying shame
it’s a shame, shame, shame
baby, it’s a crying shame
it’s a shame, shame, shame
baby, it’s a crying shame
i’ve seen a lot of living my friend 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 crying shame
it’s a shame, shame, shame
baby, it’s a crying shame
shame, shame, shame
it’s a shame, shame, shame
