Have Mercy on Me Songtext
von George Jones

My mother and me, know all the books of the Bible
She guided my way as long as she could
But I wandered astray to worship false idols
It brought me shame, she told me it would

Have mercy on me, (have mercy on me)
Dear Lord a poor sinner, (dear Lord a poor sinner)
I′m looking for you, (I'm looking for you)
In Heaven someday, (in heaven someday)

On the righteous, road (on the righteous road)
I′m just a beginner, (I'm just a beginner)
Have mercy on me, (have mercy on me)
And show me the way, (and show me the way)


How many loved ones are already in Heaven
They're praying for me as if they know
They′re hoping I′ll change my ways of living
Well, tell them I have, they'll be happy to know

Have mercy on me (have mercy on me)
Dear Lord a poor sinner, (dear Lord a poor sinner)
I′m looking for you, (I'm looking for you)
In Heaven someday, (in heaven someday)

On the righteous road, (on the righteous road)
I′m just a beginner, (I'm just a beginner)
Have mercy on me, (have mercy on me)
And show me the way, (and show me the way)

Have mercy on me, (have mercy on me)
Dear Lord a poor sinner, (dear Lord a poor sinner)
I′m looking for you, (I'm looking for you)
In Heaven someday, (in heaven someday)


On the righteous road, (on the righteous road)
I'm just a beginner, (I′m just a beginner)
Have mercy on me, (have mercy on me)
And show me the way, (and show me the way)
