Angel Of Mercy (Live At Wattstax / 1972) - Albert King
Lyrics by：Homer Banks/Raymond Jackson
Composed by：Homer Banks/Raymond Jackson
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
He say whatever's wrong with ya young man
You know
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 don't receive 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 make my 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
I said in the might be
Won't you please look down on me
Oh angel of mercy
A little mercy is all I need
You cut my lights off this mo'nin'
And I 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
