歌词
I went to work this mo'nin'
My foreman looked me in the eye
He said, "Fella I don't know what's wrong with yaBut you look sick enough to die"
He sent me to the company doctor
And he examined from head to toe
Whatever's wrong with ya, young man
My x-rays just won't show
I say, angel of mercy
Won't you please look down on me?
Angel of mercy
A little mercy is all
I needThe finance company
They just can't 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 won't be workin' here much longerAngel of mercyWon't you please look down on me?Oh, angel of mercyA little mercy is all I needLord have mercyOh angelOhOhCut my lights off this mo'nin'They set my furniture out doorsI was listenin' to the weatherman 'while agoAn' he's says it's gonna rain an' snowMy daughter's got pneumoniaAn' my son is down with the fluMy whole family's sufferin' from malnutritionAnd I can't even 'fford them soupI say, angel of mercyWon't you please look down on me?Oh, angel of mercyA little mercy is all I need
