Henry Nearly Killed Me Lyrics - Gossip In The Grain - 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 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

Don't mean you got him beat
