Cut my lights off this mo'nin'
A little mercy is all I need
Oh
Oh, angel of mercy
They set my furniture out doors
To try to get myself a loan
My whole family's sufferin' from malnutrition
Angel of mercy
Oh, angel of mercy
A little mercy is all I need
He said, "Fella I don't know what's wrong with ya
Or they want all-a the furniture back
Won't you please look down on me?
Oh
And I can't even 'fford them soup
I say, angel of mercy
They said, "I would let ya have it young man
My daughter's got pneumonia
And he examined from head to toe
An' my son is down with the flu
But you look sick enough to die"
My x-rays just won't show
The finance company
I say, angel of mercy
I went to the credit union
Lord have mercy
Won't you please look down on me?
Oh angel
Whatever's wrong with ya, young man
An' he's says it's gonna rain an' snow
Angel of mercy
Won't you please look down on me?
He sent me to the company doctor
But we hear that you won't be workin' here much longer
I was listenin' to the weatherman 'while ago
They just can't recieve my check
They say they want a payment by Friday
