Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Well if I done somebody wrong
Lord have mercy if you please
I used to have plenty money
Finest clothes in town
Bad luck and trouble overtook me
Why did you let me down
Please have mercy Lord, have mercy if you please
Well if I done somebody wrong
Have mercy if you please
Keep on working that child
Oh in a mourning heart
Well if I've been a bad boy baby
I'll change my way
Don't bad luck and trouble worry me
Oh love my days, please have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Well if I done somebody wrong
Oh have mercy if you please, Oh Lord.
