Have Mercy On The Criminal

[00:21.15] Have you heard the dogs at night
[00:25.96] Somewhere on the hill
[00:32.90] Chasing some poor criminal
[00:38.27] And I guess they're out to kill
[00:47.33] Oh, there must be shackles, on his feet
[00:53.70] And mother, in his eyes
[01:01.17] Stumbling through the devil-dark
[01:06.05] With the hound pack in full cry
[01:11.25]
[01:15.22] Have mercy on the criminal
[01:21.40] Who is running from the law
[01:28.95] Are you blind to the winds of change?
[01:33.51] Don't you hear him any more?
[01:36.06]
[01:41.07] Praying Lord you gotta help me
[01:46.81] I am never gonna sin again
[01:52.26] Just take, these chains
[01:55.28] From around my legs
[01:58.29] Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend
[02:02.71]
[02:07.47] Now have you ever seen
[02:11.30] The white teeth gleam
[02:14.13] While you lie on a
[02:16.21] Cold damp ground
[02:21.21] You're taking in the face of a rifle butt
[02:26.68] While the wardens hold you down
[02:36.00] And you're never seen a friend in years
[02:42.65] Oh, it turns your heart to stone
[02:48.95] You jump the walls
[02:51.85] And the dogs run free
[02:55.15] And the grave's gonna be your home
[02:59.59]
[03:01.88] Oh, have mercy on the criminal
[03:10.22] Who is running from the law
[03:17.62] Are you blind to the winds of change?
[03:22.33] Don't you hear him any more?
[03:25.38]
[03:29.98] Praying Lord you gotta help me
[03:35.73] I am never gonna sin again
[03:40.80] Just take, these chains
[03:43.92] From around my legs
[03:46.83] Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend
[04:49.68] Oh, have mercy on the criminal
[04:58.37] Who is running from the law
[05:05.96] Are you blind to the winds of change?
[05:10.79] Don't you hear him any more?
[05:13.59]
[05:18.23] Praying Lord you gotta help me
[05:23.17] I am never gonna sin again
[05:28.76] Just take, these chains
[05:32.25] From around my legs
[05:35.13] Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend
[05:40.26]
