Lyrics:

Have mercy,

Have mercy,

I got my brown paper bag
and my take-home pay.
Have mercy,

Have mercy,

Well, I'm glad just to get on

Right on,

Well, I'll be ridin' on the bus

Jesus just left chicago
and he's bound for new orleans.
Well now, jesus just left chicago
and he's bound for new orleans.
Yeah, yeah.
Workin' from one end to the other
and all points in between.

Took a jump through mississippi,
well, muddy water turned to wine.
Took a jump through mississippi,
muddy water turned to wine.
Yeah, yeah.
Then out to california
through the forests and the pines.
Ah, take me with you, jesus.
You might not see him in person
but he'll see you just the same.
You might not see him in person
but he'll see you just the same.
Yeah, yeah.
You don't have to worry
'cause takin' care of business is his name.
