| [00:06.71] |
Lord have mercy on me |
| [00:11.97] |
|
| [00:12.54] |
Was the kneeling drunkard's plea |
| [00:17.79] |
And as he knelt there on the ground |
| [00:23.35] |
I know that god from heaven looked down |
| [00:28.95] |
|
| [00:31.22] |
I went down by an old country church |
| [00:35.83] |
|
| [00:36.34] |
I saw a drunkard stagger and lurch |
| [00:41.96] |
And as he reached his mother's grave |
| [00:47.63] |
I saw that drunkard kneel and pray |
| [00:53.82] |
|
| [00:55.16] |
Lord have mercy on me |
| [01:00.13] |
|
| [01:00.81] |
Was the kneeling drunkard's plea |
| [01:06.15] |
And as he knelt there on the ground |
| [01:11.96] |
I know that god from heaven looked down |
| [01:18.14] |
|
| [01:26.82] |
Bring my darling boy to me |
| [01:31.43] |
|
| [01:32.22] |
Was his mother's dying plea |
| [01:37.60] |
And as he staggered through the gate |
| [01:43.22] |
Alas he came just one day too late |
| [01:49.18] |
|
| [01:58.05] |
Three years have passed since she went away |
| [02:02.49] |
|
| [02:03.12] |
Her son is sleeping beside her today |
| [02:07.97] |
|
| [02:08.65] |
And I know that in heaven his mother he'll see |
| [02:14.08] |
For god has heard that drunkard's plea |
| [02:20.51] |
|
| [02:21.81] |
Lord have mercy on me |
| [02:26.66] |
|
| [02:27.42] |
Was the kneeling drunkard's plea |
| [02:32.79] |
And as he knelt there on the ground |
| [02:38.61] |
I know that god from heaven looked down |
