Lyrics The Kneeling Drunkard's Plea - The Louvin Brothers
"Lord
have
mercy
on
me!"
Was
the
kneeling
drunkard's
plea
And
as
he
knelt
there
on
the
ground
I
know
that
God
from
heaven
looked
down
I
went
down
by
an
old
country
church
I
saw
a
drunkard
stagger
and
lurch
And
as
he
reached
his
mother's
grave
I
saw
that
drunkard
kneel
and
pray
"Lord
have
mercy
on
me!"
Was
the
kneeling
drunkard's
plea
And
as
he
knelt
there
on
the
ground
I
know
that
God
from
heaven
looked
down
"Bring
my
darling
boy
to
me"
Was
his
mother's
dying
plea
And
as
he
staggered
through
the
gate
Alas,
he
came
just
one
day
too
late
Three
years
have
passed
since
she
went
away
Her
son
is
sleeping
beside
her
today
And
I
know
that
in
heaven
his
mother
he'll
see
For
God
has
heard
that
drunkard's
plea
"Lord
have
mercy
on
me!"
Was
the
kneeling
drunkard's
plea
And
as
he
knelt
there
on
the
ground
I
know
that
God
from
heaven
looked
down
