Sinner’s Prayer Lyrics by Beth Hart

Don’t Explain

2011

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 of money
The finest clothes in town
Bad luck and trouble overtook me
And God, look at me now
Please have mercy, Lord, have mercy on me
And if I've done somebody wrong
Lord, have mercy if you please
Keep on working, my child
Oh, in the morning, oh
Lord, have mercy
If I've been a bad girl, baby
Yeah, I'll change my ways
Don't want bad luck and trouble
On me all my days
Please have mercy, Lord, have mercy on me
And if I've done somebody wrong
Lord, have mercy if you please
Have mercy on me
