I went to work this mo'nin'My foreman looked me in the eyeHe said, "Fella I don't know what's wrong with yaBut you look sick enough to die"He sent me to the company doctorAnd he examined from head to toeWhatever's wrong with ya, young manMy x-rays just won't showI say, angel of mercyWon't you please look down on me?Angel of mercyA little mercy is all I needThe finance companyThey just can't receive my checkThey say they want a payment by FridayOr they want all-a the furniture backI went to the credit unionTo try to get myself a loanSongtexteThey said, "I would let ya have it young manBut we hear that you won't be workin' here much longerAngel of mercyWon't you please look down on me?Oh, angel of mercyA little mercy is all I needLord have mercyOh angelOhOhCut my lights off this mo'nin'They set my furniture out doorsI was listenin' to the weatherman 'while agoAn' he's says it's gonna rain an' snowMy daughter's got pneumoniaAn' my son is down with the fluMy whole family's sufferin' from malnutritionAnd I can't even 'fford them soupI say, angel of mercyWon't you please look down on me?Oh, angel of mercyA little mercy is all I need
