Have Mercy On The Criminal - Remastered 2017

[00:21.13] Have you heard the dogs at night
[00:26.16] Somewhere on the hill
[00:31.25] Chasing some poor criminal
[00:36.95] And I guess they're out to kill
[00:45.60] Oh there must be shackles on his feet
[00:52.66] And mother in his eyes
[00:58.50] Stumbling through the devil-dark
[01:04.49] With the hound pack in full cry
[01:15.27] Have mercy on the criminal
[01:20.38] Who is running from the law
[01:28.97] Are you blind to the winds of change?
[01:33.52] Don't you hear him any more?
[01:37.50]
[01:41.02] Praying "Lord, you gotta help me
[01:44.77] I am never gonna sin again
[01:50.36] Just take these chains from around my legs
[01:57.04] Sweet Jesus, I'll be your friend"
[02:06.46] Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam
[02:13.01] While you lie on a cold damp ground
[02:19.66] You're taking in the face of a rifle butt
[02:24.78] While the wardens hold you down
[02:34.67] And you've never seen a friend in years
[02:41.25] Oh, it turns your heart to stone
[02:46.53] You jump the walls and the dogs run free
[02:53.74] And the grave's gonna be your home
[03:00.70] Oh, have mercy on the criminal
[03:09.98] Who is running from the law
[03:14.02]
[03:17.44] Are you blind to the winds of change?
[03:22.19] Don't you hear him any more?
[03:26.20]
[03:29.63] Praying "Lord, you gotta help me
[03:35.48] I am never gonna sin again
[03:40.51] Just take these chains from around my legs
[03:46.26] Ooh, sweet Jesus, I'll be your friend"
[04:20.00]
[04:49.56] Oh, have mercy on the criminal
[04:58.06] Who is running from the law
[05:02.10]
[05:05.52] Are you blind to the winds of change?
[05:10.15] Don't you hear him any more?
[05:14.25]
[05:17.73] Praying "Lord, you gotta help me
[05:22.92] I am never gonna sin again
