It's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
He wants for nothing
That's all he got
Some big fat nothing
Then he went and lost the lot
He says in life it's certain
That you must die
It will catch you up and bring you down
Bring you down by surprise
Hear him shudder, hear him cry
Hear him holler, late into the night
It's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
I see said the blind man as his blood returned to red
Bottle kept his memory, years slapped at his face
Reminded him not of who he was but who he was not
Then regret kept him blinded to the man that he truly was
Hear him shudder, hear him cry
Hear him holler, late into the night
It's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
The day he died a smile stretched across his face
Sober eyes lost the yearning and let him rest at ease
His soul found the lost man and returned him home to peace
Lost years but at the end pure release
Hear him shudder, hear him cry
Hear him holler, late into the night
It's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
It's a crying shame
Hear him shudder, hear him cry
Hear him shudder, hear him cry
Hear him shudder, hear him cry
Hear him shudder, hear him cry...
