[Verse 1]
Lord [C]have [G]mercy on me
Was the kneeling [F]drunkard's [C]plea
And as he knelt there [F]on the ground
I [C]know that God in [G]heaven looked [C]down

[Verse 2]
[C]I went down by an o[G]ld country church
I saw the drunkard [F]stagger and [C]lurch
And as he reached his [F]mother's grave
I [C]saw that drunkard [G]kneel and [C]pray

[Verse 3]
Lord [C]have [G]mercy on me
Was the kneeling [F]drunkard's [C]plea
And as he knelt there [F]on the ground
I [C]know that God in [G]heaven looked
[C]down

[Verse 4]
Bring my [C]darling [G]boy to me
Was his mother's [F]dying [C]plea
And as he staggered [F]through the gate
A [C]lassie came just [G]one day too [C]late

[Verse 5]
[C]Three years have passed
since [G]she went away
Her son is sleeping be[F]side her [C]today
And I know that in heaven
his [F]mother he'll see
For [C]God has heard that [G]drunkard's [C]plea

[Verse 6]
Lord [C]have [G]mercy on me
Was the kneeling [F]drunkard's [C]plea
And as he knelt there [F]on the ground
I [C]know that God in [G]heaven looked [C]down
