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 if you please
I used to have plenty of money
The finest clothes in town
Bad luck and trouble overtook me
Yeah, look at me now
Please have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me
And if I've done somebody wrong, Lord
Have mercy if you please
Keep on working on, child
Oh, in the morning, oh
Oh, have mercy
If I've been a bad girl, baby
Yeah, I'll change my ways
Don't want bad luck and trouble
On me all my days
Please have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me
And if I've done somebody wrong, Lord
Have mercy if you please
Have mercy on me
