Text: Eric Clapton. From The Cradle. Sinner's Prayer.

Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me

Well if I've done somebody wrong
Lord, have mercy if You please

I used to have plenty money, the finest clothes in town
But bad luck and trouble overtaken me, bound to get me down
Please have mercy
Lord have mercy on me

Well if I've done somebody wrong
Have mercy if You please

Keep on working now, child
Lord every morning

Well if I've been a bad boy, baby, I declare I'll change my ways
I don't want bad luck and trouble to follow me all my days
Please have a mercy
Lord have mercy on me

Well if I've done somebody wrong
Have mercy if You please
Oh, oh, oh Lord
