By the time I got back to my mountain
Was uninvited from the harvest feast
Torn up and tired, so dejected
Hit the road to shuffle my feet
Ain't that a shame?
Ain't that a cryin' shame?
Ain't that a shame?
The time I got back to my cypress home
You were gone, no more in my deep grove
Note you left said you understood
By and by and I ain't no good
Ain't that a shame?
Ain't that a cryin' shame?
Ain't that a shame?
Ain't that a shame?
Ain't that a cryin' shame?
Ain't that a shame?
