Lyrics
You made me cry
when you said, ""goodbye""
Ain't that a shame?
my tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
you're the one to blame.
You broke my heart
when you said we'll part
Ain't that a shame?
my tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
you're the one to blame
Oh well, goodbye
although I'll cry.
Ain't that a shame...
when you said, ""goodbye""
Ain't that a shame?
my tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
you're the one to blame.
You broke my heart
when you said we'll part
Ain't that a shame?
my tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
you're the one to blame
Oh well, goodbye
although I'll cry.
Ain't that a shame...

Song Status
In the summer of 1955, "Ain't It a Shame" became Domino's first pop smash, after a string of R&B hits in the early 1950s. Pat Boone's white-bread cover (retitled "Ain't That a Shame") reached Number One, but as Jerry Wexler put it, "Fats Domino is still the thing. Who cares about what's his name with the white buck shoes?"
