Lord Have Mercy

Not a crossroad dealing, never took the bet

Clean as the filter that you ain’t smoked yet

One for the money, never had to show

Two for the day you pay it back in gold

Lord have mercy on

Charlie Avalon

Try your worst, but just

Find some mercy for me

Got a hold on you, got a hold on me

Crawl like a beggar, got me on my knees

Straight and narrow wearing out my shoes

High road living giving me the blues

Lord have mercy on

Charlie Avalon

Try your worst, but just

Find some mercy for me

Ol’ Big Muddy on the evening tide

Singin’ left my baby by the riverside

Short time leaving just to be long gone

White lines calling like a country song

Lord have mercy on

Charlie Avalon

Try your worst, but just

Find some mercy for me
