[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
I used to have plenty of money
The finest clothes in town
But bad luck and trouble overtaken me
Bound to get me down

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Keep on working now, child
Lord, every morning

[Verse 2]
Well, if I've been a bad boy, baby
I declare I'll change my ways
I don't want bad luck and trouble
To follow me all my days

[Chorus]
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
