I went to work this mo'nin' |
|
My foreman looked me in the eye |
|
He said, "Fella I don't know what's wrong with yaBut you look sick enough to die" |
|
He sent me to the company doctor |
|
And he examined from head to toe |
|
Whatever's wrong with ya, young man |
|
My x-rays just won't show |
|
I say, angel of mercy |
|
Won't you please look down on me? |
|
Angel of mercy |
|
A little mercy is all |
|
I needThe finance company |
|
They just can't recieve my check |
|
They say they want a payment by |
|
FridayOr they want all-a the furniture back |
|
I went to the credit union |
|
To try to get myself a loan |
|
They said, "I would let ya have it young manBut we hear that you won't be workin' here much longerAngel of mercyWon't you please look down on me?Oh, angel of mercyA little mercy is all I needLord have mercyOh angelOhOhCut my lights off this mo'nin'They set my furniture out doorsI was listenin' to the weatherman 'while agoAn' he's says it's gonna rain an' snowMy daughter's got pneumoniaAn' my son is down with the fluMy whole family's sufferin' from malnutritionAnd I can't even 'fford them soupI say, angel of mercyWon't you please look down on me?Oh, angel of mercyA little mercy is all I need |
