Ain't That A Shame

Ain't That a Shame - Washboard Sam

Written by：Washboard Sam

I was sitting here thinking

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 gone

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 gone

Need my help someday

Play it once play it once

Yas yas

Now I don't mistreat nobody

'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 gone

Need my help someday

Lordy Lordy

Now Lordy lord

I used to be yo' regular

But now I gotten to be yo' dog

Now ain't that a shame

Lord ain't that a shame

Woman you gone

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 gone

Need my help someday
