Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy on me Well, if I've done somebody wrong Lord, have mercy on me I used to have plenty money Finest clothes in town Bad luck and trouble overtook me Well, God, why'd you get me down? Please have mercy Lord, have mercy on me Well, if I've done somebody wrong Lord, have mercy on me Well, if I've done somebody wrong Lord, have mercy on me Keep on workin' now, child In the morning Well, if I've been a bad boy, baby And I've changed my way Don't want bad luck and trouble Worry me all my days Please have mercy Lord, have mercy on me Well, if I've done somebody wrong Lord, have mercy on me
