Death ain’t got no Mercy in this land
Death ain’t got the Heart to understand
And I don’t know what the Truth is but it sure lies close at hand
Death ain’t got no Mercy in this land
Surely our Trials will be in vain
Surely our Trials will cause us pain
We’ll carry the Load and for certain we’ll carry the blame, yeah
Surely our Trials will be in vain
Life has only Misery to bestow
Life has only Heartache in its tow
And I’ll shoulder my Burden till my Lord says it’s time to go, go, go
Life has only Misery to bestow
Death ain’t got no Mercy in this land
Death ain’t got the Heart to understand
And I sure know the outcome when it comes to leave its Brand, yeah, yeah
Death ain’t got no Mercy, Mercy, Mercy in this land
Death ain’t got no Mercy in this land
Death ain’t got no Mercy in this land
Death ain’t got no Mercy in this land
Death ain’t got no Mercy in this land
(Mercy, Mercy…)
