I went to work this mo'nin'   My foreman looked me in the eye   He said, "Fella I don't know what's wrong with ya   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 ya, 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 can't recieve my check   They say they want a payment by Friday   Or they want all-a the furniture back      I went to the credit union   To try to get myself a loan   They said, "I would let ya have it young man   But we hear that you won't be workin' 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 mo'nin'   They set my furniture out doors   I was listenin' to the weatherman 'while ago   An' he's says it's gonna rain an' snow      My daughter's got pneumonia   An' my son is down with the flu   My whole family's sufferin' from malnutrition   And I can't even 'fford 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
