Merle Travis - What a Shame Lyrics

What a shame, what a shame
And you know you are to blame
You run around the country and scandalise my name
It's a sin, it's sin
What a shape you got me in
You're excuses are so lame what a shame, what a shame

Is it true, is it true
Or should I keep loving you
You know that you're not faithfull the things you say and do
Since we've met, since we've met
All you've caused me is regret
That's one thing you can't explain what a shame, what a shame

Foolish one, foolish one
Look at all the harm you've done
What you've done has hurt me so more than anyone could know
It's no lie, it's no lie
If this is our last goodbye
You will know who is to blame what a shame, what a shame

It's a crime, it's a crime
Now I know that love is blind
And I know that I was foolish falling for a line
It's no use, it's no use
I'm tired of your abuse
But I love you just the same what a shame, what a shame

What a shame, what a shame
And you know you are to blame
You run around the country and scandalise my name
It's a sin, it's sin
Oh what a shape you got me in
You're excuses are so lame what a shame, what a shame
