E Lord have A mercy, Lord have mercy on me. E
Well if I've B done somebody wrong, A Lord, have mercy E if you
please. 
E I used to have plenty of money, A the finest clothes in town,
E But bad luck and trouble overtaken me, bound to get me down.
Please have A mercy, Lord have mercy on me. E 
Well if I've B done somebody wrong, A Lord, have mercy E if you
please. 
E A Keep on working now, child.
E A Lord every morning.
  Solo on A E
          B A E
After that, it turns into a flurry of notes, which is really hard to tab
out, and I didn't find it quite compelling enough to spend all the time.}
E Well if I've been a bad boy, baby, A I declare I'll change my ways.
E I don't want bad luck and trouble to follow me all my days.
Please have A mercy, Lord have mercy on me. E 
Well if I've B done somebody wrong, A Lord, have mercy E if you please.
