Lord Have Mercy on the Working Man |
| All around I hear the sound of money |
| But I ain’t got a nickel to my name |
| And everywhere I look I see temptation |
| She stands on every corner and calls my name |
| Won’t you tell me if you can |
| 'Cause life’s so hard to understand |
| Why’s the rich man busy dancing |
| While the poor man pays the band |
| Oh, they’re billing me for killing me |
| Lord, have mercy on the working man |
| Uncle Sam’s got his hands in my pockets |
| And he helps himself each time he needs a dime |
| Them politicians treat me like a mushroom |
| 'Cause they feed me bull and keep me in the blind |
| Won’t you tell me if you can |
| 'Cause life’s so hard to understand |
| Why’s the rich man busy dancing |
| While the poor man pays the band |
| Oh, they’re billing me for killing me |
| Lord, have mercy on the working man |
| Hey, St. Peter, look down for a minute |
| And see this little man about to drown |
| There’s quicksand all around and man I’m in it |
| Please help me up Lord, 'cause I’m going down |
| Won’t you tell me if you can |
| 'Cause life’s so hard to understand |
| Why’s the rich man busy dancing |
| While the poor man pays the band |
| Oh, they’re billing me for killing me |
| Lord, have mercy on the working man |
| Won’t you tell me if you can |
| 'Cause life’s so hard to understand |
| Why’s the fat man busy dancing |
| While the thin man pays the band |
| Oh, they’re billing me for killing me |
| Lord, have mercy on the working man |
| Please Lord, have mercy on the working man |
| Please Lord, have mercy on the working man… |
