washboard sam – ain’t that a shame lyrics
i was sittin’ here thinkin’
my mind way, away
i had a good home
but my woman run me away
ain’t that a shame?
yes, ain’t that a shame?
woman, you gon’
need my help someday
i used to give my woman money
deposit fives and tens
now, them good times are gone, babe
they’ll never happen. again
now, ain’t that a shame?
lord, ain’t that a shame?
woman, you gon’
need my help someday
‘play it once, play it once’
(instrumental & guitar)
yas, yas
now, i don’t mistreat n-body
’cause you got a few dimes
you are up today, rider
but you won’t be up all the time
ain’t that a shame?
lord, ain’t that a shame?
woman, you gon’
need my help someday
lordy, lordy
now, lordy, lord
i used to be yo’ reg’lar
but now i gotten to be yo’ dog
now, ain’t that a shame?
lord, ain’t that a shame?
woman, you gon
need my help someday
now when i was in jail
you was far away
but when you got the news
you said, ‘let old washboard, stay’
now, ain’t that a shame?
lord, ain’t that a shame?
woman, you gon
need my help someday.
