Angel of Mercy Songtext
von Albert King

I went to work this morning
My foreman looked me in the eye
He said, "Fella, I don′t know what's wrong with you
But you look sick enough to die"
He sent me to the company doctor
And he examined from head to toe
"Whatever′s wrong with you, young man, 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 gonna shield my check
They say they want a payment by Friday
Or they want all of the furniture back
I went to the credit union to try to get myself a loan
They said, "I would let you have it, young man
But we hear that you won′t be working here much longer"


Angel of mercy
Won′t you please look down on me?
Oh, angel of mercy a little mercy is all I need
Lord have mercy, oh, angel
Oh
Oh

Cut my lights off this morning
They set my furniture outdoors
I was listening to the weatherman a while ago
And he says it's gonna rain and snow

My daughter′s got pneumonia
And my son is down with the flu
My whole family's suffering from malnutrition
And I can′t even afford 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
