Sailors Lament - Creedence Clearwater Revival

Sailor's Lament

(J. C. Fogerty)



Woke up early feelin' light (shame, it's a shame)

Somebody got me last night (shame, it's a shame)

Sat down for a friendly duel (shame, it's a shame)

With one-eyed jacks 'n' jokers too (shame, it's a shame)



Chorus:

Ooh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame)

Ooh, sailor man (shame, it's a shame)



Poormouth Henry turned on me (shame, it's a shame)

Said, "Boy, I'm gonna pick you clean" (shame, it's a shame)



Chorus



Henry said, "Don't you mess that pile" (shame, it's a shame)

Had three aces 'n' he had five (shame, it's a shame)



Chorus 2ce

Sailor Lament

(J. C. Fogerty)



Je me suis réveillé tôt en sentant la lumière (dommage, c'est dommage)

Quelqu'un m'a eu hier soir (dommage, c'est dommage)

Assis pour un duel amical (dommage, c'est dommage)

Avec des jacks 'n' jokers borgnes aussi (dommage, c'est dommage)



Ch?ur:

Ooh, homme marin (dommage, c'est dommage)

Ooh, homme marin (dommage, c'est dommage)



Poormouth Henry s'est retourné contre moi (dommage, c'est dommage)

Il a dit: "Mon garçon, je vais te choisir" (dommage, c'est dommage)



Ch?ur



Henry a dit: "Ne gâche pas cette pile" (dommage, c'est dommage)

Avait trois as et il en avait cinq (dommage, c'est dommage)



Chorus 2ce
