Harry Belafonte - Sinner's Prayer Lyrics

Harry Belafonte Lyrics

"Sinner's Prayer"

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Well, if I done somebody wrong
Lord have mercy if You please

I used to have plenty money
Finest clothes in town
Bad luck and trouble overtook me
Why did You let me down?

Please have mercy Lord, have mercy if You please
Well, if I done somebody wrong
Have mercy if You please

Keep on working that child
Oh, in a mourning heart
Well, if I've been a bad boy, baby I'll change my way
Don't bad luck and trouble worry me

Oh, love my days
Please have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Well, if I done somebody wrong
Oh, have mercy if You please, oh Lord
