Ray LaMontagne – Henry Nearly Killed Me (it's A Shame) Lyrics  Share

From Ray LaMontagne's album: Gossip In The Grain

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
