Hang Your Head in Shame

Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004) was an American musician known as Ray Charles (to avoid confusion with champion boxer Sugar Ray Robinson.) He was a pioneer in the genre of soul music during the 1950s by fusing rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues styles into his early recordings with Atlantic Records. He also helped racially integrate country and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, most notably with his Modern Sounds albums. While with ABC, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to be given artistic control by a mainstream record company.Frank Sinatra called Charles “the only true genius in show business.” more »

Oh, hang your head in shame
Oh, don't your conscience ever bother you
Every time you hear my name
Well, try and think of all that I've gone through
And then you hang your head in shame

Someone came along and took my place
Then you gave me all the blame
Well, you should go somewhere and hide your face
And then hang your head in shame

When you said I was the only one
Was it just your little game?
Now look back on all the harm you've done
And then you can hang your head in shame

I should hate you but I love you still
In my heart I kept the flame
Oh, you'll be sorry, darling, yes you will, will
And you gonna hang your head in shame
And hang your head in shame
