Angel of Mercy
I went to work this monin
My foreman looked me in the eye
He said, 'Fella I dont know whats wrong with yaBut you look sick enough to die'
He sent me to the company doctor
And he examined from head to toe
Whatevers wrong with ya, young man
My x-rays just wont show
I say, angel of mercy
Wont you please look down on me?
Angel of mercy
A little mercy is all
I needThe finance company
They just cant recieve my check
They say they want a payment by
FridayOr they want all-a the furniture back
I went to the credit union
To try to get myself a loan
They said, 'I would let ya have it young manBut we hear that you wont be workin here much longerAngel of mercyWont you please look down on me?Oh, angel of mercyA little mercy is all I needLord have mercyOh angelOhOhCut my lights off this moninThey set my furniture out doorsI was listenin to the weatherman while agoAn hes says its gonna rain an snowMy daughters got pneumoniaAn my son is down with the fluMy whole familys sufferin from malnutritionAnd I cant even fford them soupI say, angel of mercyWont you please look down on me?Oh, angel of mercyA little mercy is all I need
