"Lord have mercy on me"

Was the kneelin' 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 kneelin' 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

Alas he came just one day too late.

 

Three years have passed since she went away

Her son is sleepin' 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

And as he knelt there on the ground

I know that God in heaven looked down.

 

I know that God in heaven looked down.
