Sinner's Prayer by Ray Charles

Lord, have mercy
Lord, please have mercy on me
Yeah, Lord, please have mercy
Lord, please have mercy on me
Well if I've done somebody wrong
Lord, please have mercy, if you please
You know how we've been, yeah

I used to have plenty of money, yeah
The finest clothes in town
Bad luck and trouble overtook me
Bound down to go down, Lord
Lord have mercy, please, please have mercy on me, yeah
Well if I, I've done somebody wrong
Won't you have mercy, if you please


Well if I've done somebody wrong
I declare I'll change my ways
I don't want bad luck and trouble
To follow me all my days
Oh, Lord have mercy, please
Lord, won't you have mercy on me
Please Lord, please Lord
Well even if I, if I've done somebody wrong
Have mercy if you please, ho Lord
