Have Mercy, Baby |
| Somewhere on the hill? |
| Chasing some poor criminal |
| And I guess they’re out to kill |
| Oh there must be shackles on his feet |
| And mother in his eyes |
| Stumbling through the Devil dark |
| With the hound pack in full cry |
| Have mercy on the criminal |
| Who is running from the law |
| Are you blind to the winds of change? |
| Don’t you hear him anymore? |
| Saying, «Lord you gotta help me |
| Now I am never gonna sin again |
| Take these chains from around my legs |
| Sweet Jesus I’ll be your friend» |
| Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam |
| While you lie on a cold damp ground? |
| Taking in the face of a rifle butt |
| While the wardens hold you down |
| And you’ve never seen a friend in years |
| Oh it turns your heart to stone |
| You jump the wall and the dogs run free |
| And the grave gonna be your home |
| Have mercy on the criminal |
| Who is running from the law |
| Are you blind to the winds of change? |
| Don’t you hear him anymore? |
| Saying, «Lord you gotta help me |
| Now I am never gonna sin again |
| Take these chains from around my legs |
| Sweet Jesus I’ll be your friend» |
| Have mercy on the criminal |
| Who is running from the law |
| Are you blind to the winds of change? |
| Don’t you hear him anymore? |
| Saying, «Lord you gotta help me |
| Now I am never gonna sin again |
| Take these chains from around my legs |
| Sweet Jesus I’ll be your friend» |
| Somewhere on the hill? |
| Chasing some poor criminal |
