A Few Bags Of Grain Lyrics - Renmin Park - Cowboy Junkies

After twelve years of feeding 

Days spent barely breathing 

I'm worth only a few bags of grain 

Oh the shame, the shame, the shame 

So I'll take me beating 

Never once complaining 

Oh the shame, oh the shame, the shame 

After sixteen years hard labour 

He bumped into a neighbour 

Who told him about a world gone insane 

He said, "I cannot stress any stronger 

But you cannot rest on your honour" 

The shame, the shame, the shame 

She leaves her there sleeping 

Hoping that she's dreaming 

About a life worth more than a few bags of grain 

Oh the shame, oh the shame, the shame

But my spirit will live on 

My daughter you will not claim 

My spirit will live on 

My spirit you can not claim 

My daughter you will not claim 

Can not claim 

You can not claim
