Mercy

Our dead daddy left us when I was quite young

he said Lord have mercy on my daughter and my wicked son

raised by my friends I guess I'm on the road again

the one who used to lead me to a dark heavenless end

Oh, Lord have mercy on my soul

Lord have mercy I don't know which way to go

which way to turn

oh, I don't know

Lord have mercy on my good for nothing soul

My papa weren't no preacher

Still he spread that word of yours

and make up for all sinning and all the rebelling without a cause

But back when he was young

way to young to know

The world of God would touch him tell him he's a rolling stone

Oh, Lord have mercy on his soul

Lord have mercy which I've always thought he rose

too old to learn, too dumb to know

its a sin to turn you back upon an oats that you have sown

Lord have mercy x4

Oh, God I love you and I'm grateful for my life

Yes, I'm greateful that you blessed my with a daughter and a wife

but I don't believe my dad when he says I'll burn in hell

Cause' I don't go to church live by the stories that he tells

But if I'm wrong and the self righteous one is right

Blame the devil for my lucidness forgive me for my stupidness

Oh, Lord have mercy on my soul

Lord have mercy I don't know which way to go

I can learn give me a try

Please have mercy if I don't before I die

Lord have mercy x4

If I'm mistaken tell me why

If I'm forsaken take away these tears I cry

for the non- believers

I hold so dear

because they helped me with my life

when things weren't clear

I thought you sent them

but if that ain't right

then Lord have mercy on my skewed and wayward mind

I said I thought you sent them

to be my guides

thought the way you work's mysterious

but if I'm just delirious have mercy

Oh, Lord have mercy on my soul

Lord have mercy I don't know which way to go

Lord have mercy x4

on my good for nothing soul x4
