Chorus: Lord have mercy on me
D5 Cwas the kneelin drunkard's plea
D5 Dand as he knelt there on the ground
I know that God in Heaven looked down {X2 last time}
1. I went down by an old country church
D5 CI saw the drunkard stagger and lurch
D5 Dand as he reached his mothers grave
I saw that drunkard kneel and pray
(Chorus)
2. Bring my darlin boy to me
was his mothers dyin plea
and as staggered through the gate
alas he came just one day too late
3. Three years have passed since she went away
her son is sleepin beside her today
and I know in heaven his mother will see
for God has heard that drunkard's plea
(Chorus)
D5 X0023X - I think it is some D chord and this is the best one
