Текст песни

I walked ten miles down a gravel road
Carrying a heavy, heavy load
The sun is beating on my aching back
I’m a train derailed from a broken track

Lord, have mercy on a foolish man!
I let the best thing slip right through my hands
I’m calling out to the empty sky
Why, oh why, did I make her cry?

I got a bottle of whiskey, but it brings no peace
I’m waiting for a sweet release
The delta wind is howling my name
Telling me I’m the only one to blame

If I could turn back the hands of the clock
I’d be waiting for you on the city dock
I’d wrap my arms around your shivering frame
And I’d never, never cause you pain!

Lord, have mercy on a foolish man!
I let the best thing slip right through my hands
I’m calling out to the empty sky
Why, oh why, did I make her cry?

Have mercy...
Please have mercy.
