Mercy from Carolina Mountains by Sparrow Smith

Mercy

Have you been hungry
Have you been tired
Where has our mercy gone
Have you been caught in the
muck and the mire
Where has our mercy gone

Oh mercy me
Oh mercy my
Where has our mercy gone

Are you a father
Are you a ma
Where has our mercy gone
Have you loved children
Grown or still small
Where has our mercy gone

Have you been sick
and have you been healed
Where has our mercy gone
Tell me have you toiled
in a factory or field
Where has our mercy gone

Have you seen bloodshed
standing in your door
Where has your mercy gone
Have you been shattered, loosed from your moor
Where has our mercy gone

Oh mercy me
Oh mercy my
Where has our mercy gone
It’s plain to see
That people are dyin
Where has our mercy gone
