Lord Have Mercy On The Working Man Lyrics

Lord Have Mercy On The Working Man lyrics

All around I hear the sound of money
But I ain't got a nickel to my
name
And everywhere I look I see temptation
She stands on every corner
and calls my name

Chorus:
Now won't you tell me if you can
Cause
life's so hard to understand
Why's the rich man busy dancing
While the
poor man pays the band
Oh, they're billing me
For killing me
Please
lord have mercy on the working man

Uncle Sam's got his hands in my
pockets
And he helps himself each time
He needs a dime
Them
politicians treat me like a mushroom
Cause they fed me bull
And keep me
in the blind

Chorus:
So won't you tell me if you can
Cause life's
so hard to understand
Why's the rich man busy dancing
While the poor man
pays the band
Oh, they're billing me
For killing me
Yeah, lord have
mercy on the working man

Hey Saint Peter look down for a minute
And
see this little man
About to drown
There's quick sand all around
And
man I'm in it
Please help me up Lord
Cause I'm going
down

Chorus:
Now won't you tell me if you can
Cause life's so hard
to understand
Why's the rich man busy dancing
While the poor man pays the
band
Oh, they're billing me
For killing me
Please lord have mercy on
the working man

Yeah, now won't you tell me if you can
Cause life's
so hard to understand
Why's the fat man busy dancing
While the thin man
pays the band
Oh, they're billing me
For killing me
Please lord have
mercy on the working man

Please lord have mercy on the working
man
Please lord have mercy, on the working...man
Oh yeah, yeah
