Kneeling Drunkard's Plea
Lord have mercy on me Was the kneeling drunkard’s plea
And as he knelt there on the ground
I know that God in heaven looked down
I went down by an old country church
I saw the drunkard stagger and lurch
And as he reached his mother’s grave
I saw that drunkard kneel and pray
Lord have mercy on me Was the kneeling drunkard’s plea
And as he knelt there on the ground
I know that God in heaven looked down
Bring my darling boy to me Was his mother’s dying plea
And as he staggered through the gate
A lassie came just one day too late
Three years have passed since she went away
Her son is sleeping beside her today
And I know that in heaven his mother he’ll see
For God has heard that drunkard’s plea
Lord have mercy on me Was the kneeling drunkard’s plea
