Begging Mercy

Many men, Many many many men 

Wish death on me

No I won’t tell the sky no more

Have mercy on my soul.

And hey who told me you’d be coming

begging up for mercy?

I went down to the preacher’s this morning,

I’ve got a couple of confessions to make.

And oh, now put your hands around me,

Ain’t no religion could show you the way.

`Cause I’m ready to go and I take what I own

If you’d let me explore.

Ain’t no satisfaction could free me from my sins,

Now Lord have mercy.

‘Cause I know you’ll be coming begging up for mercy,

It’s not my fault if I got you under my spell. 

I said lord have mercy on me

If I could just do my penitence.

And oh, now put your hands around me,

Ain’t no religion could show you the way.

`Cause I’m ready to go and I take what I own

If you’d let me explore.

Ain’t no satisfaction could free me from my sins,

Now Lord have mercy.

And oh, now put your hands around me,

Ain’t no religion,

I said there’s not religion…

I am ready

(`Cause I’m ready to go and I take what I own

If you’d let me explore.)

Ain’t no satisfaction could free me from my sins,

`Cause I’m ready to go and I take what I own

If you’d let me explore.

Ain’t no satisfaction could free me from my sins,

Now Lord have mercy.

Have mercy on me.
