Kneeling Drunkard's Plea - Billy Joe Shaver[00:00:00]
Lord have mercy on me[00:00:07]
Was the kneeling drunkard's plea[00:00:13]
And as he knelt there on the ground[00:00:18]
I know that God in Heaven looked down[00:00:24]
I went down by an old country church[00:00:31]
I saw the drunkard stagger and lurch[00:00:37]
And as he reached his mother's grave[00:00:42]
I saw that drunkard kneel and pray[00:00:47]
Lord have mercy on me[00:00:55]
Was the kneeling drunkard's plea[00:01:00]
And as he knelt there on the ground[00:01:05]
I know that God in Heaven looked down[00:01:10]
Bring my darling boy to me[00:01:41]
Was his mother's dying plea[00:01:46]
And as he staggered through the gate[00:01:51]
Alas he came just one day too late[00:01:56]
Three years have passed since she went away[00:02:04]
Her son is sleeping beside her today[00:02:09]
And I know that in Heaven his mother he'll see[00:02:14]
For God has heard that drunkard's plea[00:02:20]
Lord have mercy on me[00:02:27]
Was the kneeling drunkard's plea[00:02:32]
And as he knelt there on the ground[00:02:37]
I know that God in Heaven looked down[00:02:43]
