作曲：Ray LaMontagne
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
