《Have Mercy On The Criminal》歌词

[00:00:00] Music by：Elton John

[00:00:10] Lyrics by：Bernie Taupin

[00:00:21] Have you heard the dogs at night

[00:00:26] Somewhere on the hill

[00:00:33] Chasing some poor criminal

[00:00:38] And I guess they're out to kill

[00:00:47] Oh there must be shackles on his feet

[00:00:54] And mother in his eyes

[00:01:01] Stumbling through the devil dark

[00:01:06] With the hound pack in full cry

[00:01:15] Have mercy on the criminal

[00:01:21] Who is running from the law

[00:01:29] Are you blind to the winds of change

[00:01:33] Don't you hear him any more

[00:01:41] Praying Lord you got to help me

[00:01:47] I am never gonna sin again

[00:01:52] Just take these chains from around my legs

[00:01:58] Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend

[00:02:07] Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam

[00:02:14] While you lie on a cold damp ground

[00:02:21] You're taking in the face of a rifle butt

[00:02:26] While the wardens hold you down

[00:02:36] And you've never seen a friend in years

[00:02:42] Oh it turns your heart to stone

[00:02:55] You jump the walls and the dogs run free

[00:05:06] And the grave's gonna be your home
