《Kneeling Drunkard’s Plea》歌词

[00:00:00] Kneeling Drunkard's Plea - Billy Joe Shaver

[00:00:07] Lord have mercy on me

[00:00:13] Was the kneeling drunkard's plea

[00:00:18] And as he knelt there on the ground

[00:00:24] I know that God in Heaven looked down

[00:00:31] I went down by an old country church

[00:00:37] I saw the drunkard stagger and lurch

[00:00:42] And as he reached his mother's grave

[00:00:47] I saw that drunkard kneel and pray

[00:00:55] Lord have mercy on me

[00:01:00] Was the kneeling drunkard's plea

[00:01:05] And as he knelt there on the ground

[00:01:10] I know that God in Heaven looked down

[00:01:41] Bring my darling boy to me

[00:01:46] Was his mother's dying plea

[00:01:51] And as he staggered through the gate

[00:01:56] Alas he came just one day too late

[00:02:04] Three years have passed since she went away

[00:02:09] Her son is sleeping beside her today

[00:02:14] And I know that in Heaven his mother he'll see

[00:02:20] For God has heard that drunkard's plea

[00:02:27] Lord have mercy on me

[00:02:32] Was the kneeling drunkard's plea

[00:02:37] And as he knelt there on the ground

[00:02:43] I know that God in Heaven looked down
