On the day after Christmas I swung by the house
All the pecan trees were cut down, all the horses turned out
I thought I was over you 'til I seen the fences
They were tight and looking straight and keeping out all my intentions
Ain't it a shame (shame)
Ain't it a shame
What a man will throw away
When the pleasure rots his brain
Ain't it a shame (shame)
Ain't it a shame
When his luck is come to pass
And all his diamonds into glass
Ain't it a shame, o-ooh
The tanks are all but dry and the hay is rotten
Mesquites have overtaken ain't been sprayed in ages
I'd try to swing the gate but all the locks have been changed
Even my old heeler don't come, when I call his name
Ain't it a shame (shame)
Ain't it a shame
What a man will throw away
When the pleasure rots his brain
Ain't it a shame (shame)
Ain't it a shame
When his luck is come to pass
And all his diamonds into glass
Ain't it a shame, o-ooh
Well, I've not been one to beg but today I might
I'd get down on my knees and say I'd do her right
If she could find in her heart to let me back in
'Bout that time walked in a brand new man
Ain't it a shame (shame)
Ain't it a shame
What a man will throw away
When the pleasure rots his brain
Ain't it a shame (shame)
Ain't it a shame
When his luck is come to pass
And all his diamonds into glass
Ain't it a shame, o-ooh
