[Chorus]
Lord, have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me
Lord, have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me
Well, if I've done somebody wrong
Have mercy if you please

[Verse 1]
I used to have plenty of money
The finest clothes in town
When bad luck and trouble overtaken me
It's bound to get me down

[Chorus]
Please have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me
Well, if I've done somеbody wrong
Have mercy if you pleasе

[Bridge]
Keep on working now, child
Glory in the morning

[Verse 2]
Well, if I've been a bad boy, baby
I declare I'll change my ways
See, I don't want bad luck and trouble
To follow me all my days
[Chorus]
Please have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me
Well, if I've done somebody wrong
Have mercy if you please
Oh Lord

[Outro]
Thank you
