Lyrics:

Oh Lord, oh Lord, have mercy on me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, have mercy on me
If I did anybody wrong, oh Lord, have mercy on me

Used to be a vagrant
Told me always take a knee
And it's got me down, baby
Used to be a vagrant
Told me always take a knee
And it's got me down
I get down on my knees
And I cried, 'Lord have mercy on me'

Oh Lord, have mercy on me

I rang my mama up
Mama, I'm a free man
I'm fittin' to leave home
Rang my mama up
Mama, I'm a free man
I'm fittin' to leave home

Well, I'm sick
Doctor can't do me no good

Oh Lord, oh Lord, have mercy on me
Oh Lord, oh Lord have mercy on me
If I done anybody wrong
Oh Lord, have mercy on me
