Have Mercy On My Soul!

3 Contributors Have Mercy on My Soul Lyrics When my first wife left me, boy Put me out on the highway When my first wife left me, left me Put me out on the highway And ever since that day My life ain't been the same to me no more I had a good girl Good as she could be I had a good girl, good girl Good as she could be But the reason that she left me I wanted every women that I seen, yes I did Watch this now: I've been drinkin' and gamblin', drinkin' and gamblin' Ever since my wife been gone Drinkin' and gamblin', drinkin' and gamblin' Ever since my wife been gone I found the highway The highway have been my home Look at here now: I'm sitting down thinking this morning 'bout my wife and child I'm sitting down thinking this morning Boy, 'bout my wife and child I wanna go back home so bad And tell her I just don't know what to doI left my wife and my baby My baby girl was only 4 days old I left my wife and my baby And my little girl was only 4 days old And don't you know boy just one thing Lord just keeps on worrying me, yes he do Look at here what I'm holding: I hope my little baby girl haven't learned to count on a man deading And boy that keeps on worryin' me Just one thing hurt me so badly That keeps on worryin' me I hope my little baby girl haven't learned to count on a man deading And Lord and that's what keep on worryin' me I wanna go back home I wanna go back home so bad I wanna go back home I wanna go back home so bad I wanna get my wife and my baby back again I wanna go back home to stay, yes yeah And then I said to my wife I said "Baby! I ain't no go drinkin' and gamblin' no more" I said "Baby, baby! Drikin' and gamblin' Drinkin' and gamblin' no more" I was dead home with you baby Live like a madman shouldI said "Baby! I teach my little baby girl, teach her, teach her How to call me daddy one more time Baby teach my little baby girl To call me daddy just one more time I been gone so long, so long And she forgot my name Please teach her How to call me daddy one more time Please teach her That I'm her daddy Baby...."
