Em7 I went to work this mo'nin', my foreman looked me in the eye, Em7 he said, "Fella, I don't know what's wrong with ya, bbut you look sick enough to die". Em7 He sent me to the company doctor and he examined from head to toe, Em7 "Whatever's wrong with ya, young man, my x-rays just won't show".
[Chorus]
I say, A7angel of mercy, won't you please look down Em7on me? B7 A7 Em7 * Angel of mercy, a little mercy is all I need.
[Verse 2]
Em7 The finance company, they just don't receive (garnished) my check, Em7 they say they want a payment by Friday or they want all the furniture back. Em7 I went to the credit union to try to get myself a loan, Em7 they said "I would let ya have it, young man, but we hear that you won't be workin' here much longer".
[Chorus]

Em7 Cut my lights off this mo'nin', they set my furniture outdoors, Em7 I was listenin' to the weatherman a while ago an' he's say it's gonna rain and snow.

[Chorus]
