lyrics

Mercy mercy mercy
What is to become of me?
Mercy mercy mercy
What is to become of me?
Ain't no birds up in the sky now
Ain't no fishes in the sea

Looked 'round to find my woman
I saw nothing there but bones
Looked around to find my woman
There was nothing there but the bones
She caught fire early this morning
And I lost my happy home

I know a burnin' mornin'
Gonna come 'round by and by
Another burnin' mornin'
Gonna come 'round by and by
There is noone left to cling to
Think I'll hang my head and die

I asked the Lord for water
And he gave me only sand
I asked the Lord for water
He gave me only sand
There ain't nothin' quite as thirsty
As a solitary man

Mercy mercy mercy
What is to become of me?
Mercy mercy mercy
What is to become of me?
Ain't no birds up in the sky now
Ain't no fishes in the sea

Ain't nothin' quite as thirsty
As a solitary man
