 I went to work this mo'nin'My foreman looked me in the eyeHe said, "Fella I don't know what's wrong with ya,But you look sick enough to die"
He sent me to the company doctorAnd he examined from head to toe"Whatever's wrong with ya, young man,My x-rays just won't show"
I say, angel of mercyWon't you please look down on me?Angel of mercyA little mercy is all I need
The finance companyThey just don't receive my checkThey say they want a payment by FridayOr they want all-a the furniture back
I went to the credit unionTo try to get myself a loanThey said, "I would let ya have it young man,But we hear that you won't be workin' here much longer
Angel of mercyWon't you please look down on me?Oh, angel of mercyA 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 doorsI was listenin' to the weatherman 'while agoAn' he's says it's gonna rain an'snow
My daughter's got pneumoniaAn' my son is down with the fluMy whole family's sufferin' from malnutritionAnd I can't even 'fford them soup
I say, angel of mercyWon't you please look down on me?Oh, angel of mercyA little mercy is all I need
