"Mercy" lyrics

I've been with the snakes I'm wranglin'
The preacher couldn't carry me
Then I met the man who poisoned the river
I'm gonna do myself a favour, I guarantee

Someone put something in my drink
I think gonna do what you done to me
Gonna do what you done to me
Gonna do what you done to me

I'm a free man with a free hand, take it
Hot damn, no saints tonight
I'm a loose end with my goose-neck
I lasso friends, how they love me so
Mercy

I woke up in Memphis
She says she wants to marry me
Then I get the voice of God on the blower
Man, where the hell you been?
Someone put something in my drink
I think, well, there's got to be some time before you and me meet
Got to be some time before you and me meet
Got to be some time before you and me meet

I'm a free man with a free hand, take it
Hot damn, no saints tonight
I'm a loose end with my goose-neck
I lasso friends, how they love me so
Mercy

And I fear I'm dyin'
Yeah, I could be dyin'
Well, if this is dyin'
Well, then I'm dead

Here I am on a winner
Take me to your chateau door
Someone put something in my drink
I think, could I ask for just one more?
Just one more

I'm a free man with a free hand, take it
Hot damn, no saints tonight
I'm a loose end with my goose-neck
I lasso friends, how they love me so
Mercy

Mercy
Mercy
Ooh, Mercy
Mercy
