Black Oak Arkansas – Cryin' Shame lyrics

Album: Ain't Life Grand?

I've tried my best
Just to pass the test
But I don't think I'm gonna make it

Ramblin', people
Got a hold on me
And I just can't seem to shake it

I'm always down
Since I hit this town
Jesus, it sure is a pity

I'll never understand
The woman or the man, what
Gets off livin' in the city

Any way you say it
The name's the same
Can anybody tell me who's to blame?
Any way you say it
The name's the same
Livin' like this is a cryin' shame
Cryin' shame
Cryin' shame

Workin' all day
Got no time to play
It's enough to make you worry

I just can't see
For the life of me
Why everyone's in such a hurry

It takes all my money
Just to please my honey
And it sure is makin' me crazy

Gotta find a way
For to get my pay
Layin' 'round feelin' lazy

Any way you say it
The name's the same
Somebody tell me, now, who's to blame?
Any way you say it
The name's the same
Livin' like this is a cryin' shame
Cryin' shame
Cryin' shame
Cryin' shame
