Mercy On Me 歌词

Lord I ask you for one favor Lord for someone to help me Oh Lord, all I need in this world Is an helping hand Oh Lord all on my life I been in trouble as they go by I been mistreated Oh Lord, treated like a dog People look at me on the street Yes the watch me from my head to feet As the watch me as they go by Lord I wonder what's on their mind I say Oh Lord Haven't harmed nobody But they seem to hat me just the same I say Oh Lord Oh Lord, have mercy on me People have spit, spit in my face They have done me everything wrong They have called me all kind of names They say; nigger, keep on goin But in my heart, it be so cruel Lord I don't know in this world what to do But I say " Lord, oh Lord, have mercy on me Have mercy on me " [Spoken] I even had kids that threw me dirty water in my face. Scoop it up off the street, and their mother and father standing with them. And I look at them, and have to smile. And I say to myself: Lord have mercy! What wrong have I done to be treated this way? Like I'm no human, I'm like something in the jungle somewhere. But when I bow down on my knee and I pray to the good Lord above, and I ask him only in a few words, say " Lord please have mercy on me, cause there's only one thing in life I want. And all I want, a little favor, just to be free. That's all I want, just to be free So bye and bye, when my day is come Yeah and I leave, leave this world behind I'll say: Lord, lord, have mercy on me
