Lord Have Mercy

Oh my Mama couldn’t tell me ‘bout the feeling I feel

At 9:49 on a Sunday mornin’ still,

Gran’s all dressed up and she’s headed to church

But I’m in bed tired from last night’s work

So Lord please, have mercy on me

And some lady’s down the street tellin’ people the news

But what they don’t really know is that she haven’t a clue

‘Round the way and up above, some folks flyin’ high

See sad smiles in their eyes they ain’t doin’ fine

Oh Lord please, have mercy on me

Hey, can you see me in those sad smiling eyes?

Can you see me in those sad smiling eyes?

Mama, can you hear me in those sad smiling eyes? (Yeah)

Oh Mama, can you hear me, in those sad smiling eyes? (Yeah)

Oh my Mama couldn’t tell me ‘bout the feeling I feel

But the love, let’s me know, yeah let’s me know

So Lord please, have mercy on me

So Lord please, have mercy on me

Got to have mercy

Got to have

Got to, got to have mercy

Got to, got to have mercy

So Lord please, have mercy on me
