《The Kneeling Drunkard’s Plea》歌词

[00:00:00] The Kneeling Drunkard's Plea - The Louvin Brothers

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

[00:00:12] Was the kneeling drunkard's plea

[00:00:17] And as he knelt there on the ground

[00:00:23] I know that God from heaven looked down

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

[00:00:36] I saw a drunkard stagger and lurch

[00:00:41] 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

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

[00:01:06] And as he knelt there on the ground

[00:01:12] I know that God from heaven looked down

[00:01:26] Bring my darling boy to me

[00:01:32] Was his mother's dying plea

[00:01:37] And as he staggered through the gate

[00:01:43] Alas he came just one day too late

[00:01:57] Three years have passed since she went away

[00:02:03] Her son is sleeping beside her today

[00:02:08] And I know that in heaven his mother he'll see

[00:02:14] For God has heard that drunkard's plea

[00:02:21] Lord have mercy on me

[00:02:27] Was the kneeling drunkard's plea

[00:02:32] And as he knelt there on the ground

[00:02:38] I know that God from heaven looked down
