I got a feeling

Of unrighteousness

Bitter cold

Hollow bitterness

Down the road

I walk with loneliness

Mercy will follow me I'm told

My sister sang

Songs so sweet and sad

Bout a man

Who's love I never had

There's a train

Bound for gillian?

Mercy will follow me I'm told

Mercy will you follow me

Mercy will you follow me

Till my final breath at last I take

Mercy will you follow me

Mercy will you follow me

Till the chains of this old world I finally break

Under this skin

There lies a heart of stone

It's growing old

So very far, from home

But a heart of gold

I may someday own?

And mercy will follow me, I'm told

Mercy will you follow me

Mercy will you follow me

To my final breath at last I take

Mercy will you follow me

Mercy will you follow me

Till the chains of this old world I finally break

Till the chains of this old world I finally break

Till the chains of this old world I finally break
