Howlin' Shame - Adia Victoria

We need to talk about Addie Mae

I seen her walking out the other day

And I been watching that girl wilt away

Bruised back blisterin'

There ain’t no end to her sufferin'

And any good she had has gone to gray

It’s a howlin' shame

A howlin' shame

Oh that girl is a ghost

Burnin' in a hell that don’t nobody know

White flag twistin' in the wind

And at her best she is witherin'

And she all set for death she can’t be saved

It’s a howlin' shame

A howlin' shame

Nobody could love her

Nobody could care

'Cause she ran them all off

With her get back stare

Stay away, away, away

Away, away

A murder of crows

They followed her home

And they didn’t leave much

Just a bed of bones

Get away, away

Away, away, away

I’m a howlin' shame

A howlin' shame

I’m a howlin' shame

A howlin' shame

Howlin' shame

Howlin' shame

Howlin' shame

Howlin' shame
