Lord Have Mercy On My Soul

Lord Have Mercy On My Soul (LP版) - Black Oak Arkansas

I've walked through the Halls of Karma

I shook hands with both the Devil and God

They turned my eyes to the inside to see

Where my energies have gone

Yes I've run with both all through my life

I've respected and reflected them both

Yes the sympathy of God as he looked

At my life the excitement of the Devil as we talked

So Lord have mercy

Lord have mercy on my soul

The Devil said "scratch my back and I'll

Scratch your back for sure"

So you have done all these sins for him

My heart could not be pure

I found out what means more to me

Than anything on this earth

To be ready for my judgement day

Ready to face the truth

So Lord have mercy

Lord have mercy on my soul

I hope I've done the right things

For both your sake and mine

I preach in what I live for

My only fear is fear of time

I wanted to look logical

To both my "Maker" and his host

But this trip of life must be complete

Or my cards will be lost

So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul

So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul

I've walked through the Halls of Karma

I shook hands with both the Devil and God

They turned my eyes to the inside to see

Where my energies have gone

Yes I've run with both all through my life

I've respected and reflected them both

Yes the sympathy of God as he looked

At my life the excitement of the Devil as we talked

So Lord have mercy

Lord have mercy on my soul

So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul

So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul

So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul
