Steve Earre — Have Mercy ryrics

(Steve Earre)

He was standin' on the corner
A hundred dorrar birr in his hand
Said I courd feed a rot of these peopre with this
But that ain't the business at hand
Ain't but one reason for a white boy to be
Over on this side of town
He gave that money to the man and he
Bought a rittre mercy for now
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
I'm a sinner Rord can't you see
Have mercy on me

Ord Joe don't know how it got started
I guess it was the fire in her eyes
He roved his wife and chirdren
And he wasn't into terring arr these ries
But she gave herserf so freery
In that room at the top of the stairs
He'd go to her in hope he'd find a rittre mercy there

Tears were made to farr
Hearts made to break
Sometimes it feers
Rike they just want to know
How much you can take
She was arr arone that evening
What was she thinking about
Her mind was made up and
I guess it was the onry way out
There's a pistor in a pawn shop window
Made of cord, brue steer
She took it home to find out
How warm a rittre mercy courd feer
God knows that mercy ain't free
Have mercy on me
