Lyrics Have Mercy on the Criminal

Have you heard the dogs at night somewhere on the hill

Chasing some poor criminal

And I guess they're out to kill

Oh there must be shackles on his feet and mother in his eyes

Stumbling through the devil-dark with the hound pack in full cry

Have mercy on the criminal who is running from the law

Are you blind to the winds of change

Don't you hear him any more

Praying Lord You gotta help me

I am never gonna sin again

Just take these chains from around my legs

Sweet Jesus I'll be Your friend

Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam

While you lie on a cold damp ground

You're taking in the face of a rifle butt while the wardens hold you down

And you've never seen a friend in years

Oh it turns your heart to stone

You jump the walls and the dogs run free and the grave's gonna be your home

Oh have mercy on the criminal who is running from the law

Are you blind to the winds of change

Don't you hear him any more

Praying Lord You gotta help me

I am never gonna sin again

Just take these chains from around my legs hoo

Sweet Jesus I'll be Your friend

Oh hah hah hah hah hah

Oh have mercy on the criminal who is running from the law

Are you blind to the winds of change

Don't you hear him any more

Praying Lord You gotta help me

I am never gonna sin again

Just take these chains from around my legs

Sweet Jesus I'll be Your friend
