lyrics

I laid me down in a field of blue bonnets
Lord take me now while I'm good and honest
I felt the flowers fall for feelin' tall
So who am I to take it all?
A gamblin' fool for feelin' nothing could be done
I'll take the money and I'll run

Chorus
Mercy
Mercy Lord
Mercy Lord for you sinner sinkin' low

I meant to mend like a thread and needle
But I found my friends I'm far too feeble
I said my sorries but never more
They don't know what I'm in for
It's rock or hard ahead and there I am
I took the money and I ran

Chorus

Impetuously I earn with interest
Recklessly I can't resist it
Next they're knocking at my front door
And I can't hide anymore
They'll carry me away with a wilted will to give
In the jail is where I'll live

Chorus

My mendacious mask it mocks me cruelly
Those tenacious acts they took me truly
Now this cold empty prison cell
It hold me here from what I can tell
Unless the letters lie like Madoff did
In the jail is where I live

Chorus X2

Low
Low
Low
