Chorus: Lord have mercy on me was the kneelin drunkard's plea and as he knelt there on the ground I know that God in Heaven looked down {X2 last time} 1. I went down by an old country church I saw the drunkard stagger and lurch and as he reached his mothers grave I saw that drunkard kneel and pray (Chorus) 2. Bring my darlin boy to me was his mothers dyin plea and as staggered through the gate alas he came just one day too late 3. Three years have passed since she went away her son is sleepin beside her today and I know in heaven his mother will see for God has heard that drunkard's plea (Chorus) chord and this is the best one Enjoy!
