AIN'T DAT A SHAME
W: John Queen
M: Walter Wilson
American song from 1901
Key: D
Time: 2/4

-3  -2*  -2*   2  -1  -2*
One dark and storm-y night
-2* -2*  -2*  -3  -4  -2*
The rain was fall-ing fast
 -3  -5  -5   -5   6 -6* -5   6
Bill Bai-ley told his la-dy friend
-5   -5   6   -5  -4  -3
Our dream of love is past
-3  -4  4   4*   -4   -3 2   -2*  -1
He said no more just slammed the door
-1 -2*  -2*     2   -1  -2*
He wan-dered 'round the town
 2  -1 -2* -2*  -3 -4  -2*
But he did-n't have a cent
-3   -5   -5  -5   6   -6*  -5
He thought a-bout his pork chops
 6    -5  -5  6   -5   -4  -3
Then back to the house he went
-3 -4   4  4* -4  -3 2  -2* -1
Oh lis-ten to his mourn-ful cry

 -3   -3 -3* -4  -4  -5  -5  -5
Ain't dat a shame a meas-ly shame
-3  -4   4    4* 4* -3  -4  4   -3
To keep your hon-ey out in the rain

Lordy have a little pity
 -3  -3 -3 -3  -3*  -4  -4  -5  -5 -5
Will you o-pen dat door and let me in
-3 -4    4     4*  4*  -4 -32 -2*  -1
I stand yere freez-in' wet to the skin
