VERSE 1

Oh, lord, have mercy on my soul;
oh, lord, have mercy on my soul;
bad luck and trouble been followin’ me around;
oh, yeah, I’m really feeling down;

VERSE 3

oh, lord, have mercy on my soul;
oh, lord, have mercy on my soul;
I’ve been lost and lonely without my sweet baby;
wanna meet her on the other side;

VERSE 2

oh, lord, have mercy on my soul;
oh, lord, have mercy on my soul;
I’m just a poor boy no reason to live;
my baby died Wedn’sday morning;

VERSE 4

oh, lord, have mercy on my soul;
oh, lord, have mercy on my soul;
have St. Peter meet me down by the crossroads
and lend me that golden key;
