Lord have mercy

Oh Lord, oh Lord, have mercy on me

Oh Lord, oh Lord, have mercy on me

Have I done anybody wrong?

I cried, oh Lord, have mercy on me

Used to be a bad boy

Troubles always chasing me

It really got me down

(repeat)

I fell down on my knees

And I cried, oh Lord, have mercy on me

Write to my mama

Mama please ma’am deliver me home

Write to my mama the way I feel

The doctor can’t do me no good

You out there I believe

And I cry, oh Lord, have mercy on me

Have mercy on me
