High Index - MERCY ON MY SOUL()
(6/8 Gospel, with expression)

I was born on a Tuesday in the heat of a June Alabama
My Mama and my Papa, oh they tried to raise me right
                                    /                   
I grew up with the good book, and was glad for the things that I had
And I lived my life by the Sabbath every day

But I fell in with the wrong crowd, and they led me astray
Sinnin?  in the evening and drinking all the day 
Lookin? for easy money, with a pistol in my hand 
Lord, have mercy on my soul

Lord, have mercy on my soul
Help me find a way out of this hole
I once was a good man, but then I turned bad
Lord have mercy on my soul

BRIDGE                                                  Lord Have Mercy P2
I don?t know what happened, maybe I didn?t wanna? know
But mama knew I?d gone rotten
Forty long years ago
I once was a good man, but then I turned bad
Lord have mercy on my soul

Then I saw the dim light of a lantern in the window
It didn?t look like much, but it was right, it was right 
I knew that my salvation meant that I had to find a way
Don?t know if I?ll make it, but I?ll be tryin? hard every day

Lord, have mercy on my soul
Help me find a way out of this hole
I once was a good man, but then I turned bad
STOP, THEN, SLOWLY
Lord have mercy on my soul
