Lord Have Mercy On Me

Blues and trouble seem to be my best friend
I said blues and trouble seem to be my best friend
When my blues leaves me, my trouble walks right in
I thought my eyes were wide open, I was naturally fast asleep
Oh, I thought my eyes were wide open, somehow I was fast asleep
My woman had a maid upstairs, downstairs and one across the street
Now everybody crying mercy, I wonder what do mercy mean
I hear people hollering mercy, tell me what do mercy mean
But if it mean any good, oh Lord have mercy on me
