You don't know how bad I feel
The doctor says I'm very ill
He's feeding me little yellow pills for my heart
And its a shame, shame, shame

My temperatures a hundred and two
And the doctor don't think I'm gonna pull through
But there's nothing he can do without you, girl
And its a shame, shame, shame
Oh its a shame, shame, shame

I'm wasting away to nothing
And I ain't got the will to try
But if you don't come home running, now
I swear I'm gonna die
Its a doggone shame, oh yes it is

I said its a shame, shame, shame
Oh its a shame, shame, shame

I'm wasting away to nothing
And I ain't got the will to try
But if you don't come home running
I swear I'm gonna die
Its a shame, shame

You know I'm a hospital case
I lost all the color from my face
I'm gonna leave the human race
If you don't come home

Its a shame, shame, shame
And its a shame, shame, shame
Its a doggone shame
Baby please come home

Its a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
(I need them little yellow pills)
Its a shame, shame, shame
(I need them little yellow pills)
