Lord Have Mercy by Howlin Rain
Lord Have Mercy lyrics
I caught a glimpse of your body by the river, I was alone
and the sky went forever
I was the one that killed your father in the First World
War
I once vowed to love your sister for a lifetime, took her
to the altar
And left her like a wind chime that was the dawning of
the age of the cannibal world
Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord,
Mama have mercy on my soul
I took your wild peacocks down to the sawmill and ground
their bones into dust and blood meal
A rainbow of feathers and shame fell upon my wicked hand
Lucy my love get inside my Grand Torino, I tell you
little girl don�t go into the jungle
There�s a million hungry insects there and man they�re
going to eat you alive...
Yes they will
Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord,
Mama have mercy on my soul
Cold dead moon don�t stare at me with your bony
judgmental eye
Only the peacocks and earthly things can judge me as they
pass by
Can judge me as they pass through this world, judge me as
they pass by
Lord, he has my number under the thunder in his hand
