[00:07.68]Have mercy, I'm in a world of trouble now
[00:16.71]I'm being held by the State Patrol
[00:22.41]I am charged with traffic of the forbidden
[00:28.17]And I almost finished doing my parole
[00:34.20]Now, I'm on my way back down town
[00:40.86]Somebody help me, have mercy on my soul
[00:47.49]I go to court tomorrow morning
[00:53.52]And I got the same judge I had before
[00:55.38]Lord, I know he won't have no mercy on me
[01:06.03]'Cause he told me not to come back no more
[01:15.06]He'll send me away to some stoney mansion
[01:20.37]In a lonely room and lock the door
[01:49.74]Ow! Have mercy on my little Tulane
[02:11.55]She's too alive to try to live alone
[02:19.71]And I know her needs
[02:21.45]And although she loves me
[02:24.30]She's gonna try to make it
[02:25.20]While the poor boy's gone
[02:34.56]Somebody should tell her to live
[02:35.76]And I'll understand it
[02:40.56]And even love her more
[02:41.40]When I come back home

Have mercy, I'm in a world of trouble now
I'm being held by the State Patrol
I am charged with traffic of the forbidden

Now, I'm on my way back down town
Somebody help me, have mercy on my soul
I go to court tomorrow morning
And I got the same judge I had before
Lord, I know he won't have no mercy on me
'Cause he told me not to come back no more
He'll send me away to some stoney mansion
In a lonely room and lock the door
Ow! Have mercy on my little Tulane
She's too alive to try to live alone
And I know her needs
And although she loves me
