Lord have mercy on me
was the kneelin [D5]drunkard's [C]plea
and as he knelt there [D5]on the [D]ground
I [C]know that God in [G]Heaven looked [C]down {X2 last time}
1. [C]I went down by an old [G]country church
I saw the drunkard [D5]stagger and [C]lurch
and as he reached his [D5]mothers [D]grave
I [C]saw that drunkard [G]kneel and [C]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

her son is sleepin beside her today
and I know in heaven his mother will see
for God has heard that drunkard's plea
