Have Mercy On The Criminal - Remastered 2017

[00:20.53] Have you heard the dogs at night
[00:25.59] Somewhere on the hill
[00:31.23] Chasing some poor criminal
[00:36.92] And I guess they're out to kill
[00:45.67] Oh there must be shackles on his feet
[00:52.69] And mother in his eyes
[00:58.50] Stumbling through the devil-dark
[01:04.42] With the hound pack in full cry
[01:14.53] Have mercy on the criminal
[01:20.32] Who is running from the law
[01:28.11] Are you blind to the winds of change?
[01:32.70] Don't you hear him any more?
[01:40.46] Praying "Lord, you gotta help me
[01:44.77] I am never gonna sin again
[01:50.34] Just take these chains from around my legs
[01:57.01] Sweet Jesus, I'll be your friend"
[02:06.47] Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam
[02:13.02] While you lie on a cold damp ground
[02:19.62] You're taking in the face of a rifle butt
[02:24.74] While the wardens hold you down
[02:34.74] And you've never seen a friend in years
[02:41.21] Oh, it turns your heart to stone
[02:46.56] You jump the walls and the dogs run free
[02:53.78] And the grave's gonna be your home
[03:00.74] Oh, have mercy on the criminal
[03:10.06] Who is running from the law
[03:17.16] Are you blind to the winds of change?
[03:21.99] Don't you hear him any more?
[03:29.42] Praying "Lord, you gotta help me
[03:35.56] I am never gonna sin again
[03:39.78] Just take these chains from around my legs
[03:46.66] Ooh, sweet Jesus, I'll be your friend"
[03:52.85]
[04:48.76] Oh, have mercy on the criminal
[04:58.11] Who is running from the law
[05:05.58] Are you blind to the winds of change?
[05:10.43] Don't you hear him any more?
[05:17.61] Praying "Lord, you gotta help me
[05:23.28] I am never gonna sin again
[05:27.35] Just take these chains from around my legs
[05:34.73] Sweet Jesus, I'll be your friend"
