Mercy Wright – on The Parade (Blue Knuckles Music©2001) Red Tail Hawk Records
Mercy Wright Mercy Wright oh I need you tonight
Lord won’t have a little mercy
on poor old Mercy Wright
I got a call from San Antonio it was a woman in a fight
Said that she was calling needed a little Jesus in her life
Seems she had some trouble with her body and her soul
wants someone to reach out and touch her Salvation was her goal
Mercy Wright Mercy Wright oh I need you tonight
Lord won’t have a little mercy
On poor old Mercy Wright
As she spoke her words I heard her voice begin to crack
she paused for a moment trying to fight her tears back.
You could tell that her life had been filled up with pain
I heard they put her away one time does that make old Mercy insane
Mercy Wright Mercy Wright oh I need you tonight
Lord won’t have a little mercy
On poor old Mercy Wright
Then she pulled her thoughts away from her pain .
Tried to steer herself out of the dark clouds and rain
She was running from the devil who was dangling his noose
She turned toward the future the blue skies of hope gave her a boost
Mercy Wright Mercy Wright oh I need you tonight
Lord won’t have a little mercy
On poor old Mercy Wright
