Albert Collins Angel Of Mercy Lyrics

Angel Of Mercy Lyrics

I went to work this mo'nin'

My foreman looked me in the eye

He said, "Fella I don't know what's wrong with ya

But you look sick enough to die"



He sent me to the company doctor

And he examined from head to toe

Whatever's wrong with ya, young man

My x-rays just won't show



I say, angel of mercy

Won't you please look down on me?

Angel of mercy

A little mercy is all I need



The finance company

They just can't recieve my check

They say they want a payment by Friday

Or they want all-a the furniture back



I went to the credit union

To try to get myself a loan

They said, "I would let ya have it young man

But we hear that you won't be workin' here much longer



Angel of mercy

Won't you please look down on me?

Oh, angel of mercy

A little mercy is all I need



Lord have mercy

Oh angel

Oh

Oh



Cut my lights off this mo'nin'

They set my furniture out doors

I was listenin' to the weatherman 'while ago

An' he's says it's gonna rain an' snow



My daughter's got pneumonia

An' my son is down with the flu

My whole family's sufferin' from malnutrition

And I can't even 'fford them soup



I say, angel of mercy

Won't you please look down on me?

Oh, angel of mercy

A little mercy is all I need
