lyrics

14. DEATH DON’T HAVE NO MERCY
(IN THIS LAND)

Death don’t have no mercy in this land
Death don’t have no mercy in this land
He comes to your house…he don’t stay long
Look in the bed one morning… your mother’s gone
Well, death don’t have no mercy in this land

Death will leave you crying in this land
Death will leave you crying in this land
He comes to your house…he don’t stay long
You wake up in the morning… your father’s gone
Well, death don’t have no mercy in this land

Well death don't give you time to get ready in this land
Well death don't give you time to get ready in this land
He'll come to your house and he won't stay long
Look 'round the room one of your mama will be gone

Well dig my…dig my grave…use a bloody spade
Well dig my…dig my grave…use a bloody spade
Just make sure that my digging is well paid
Well dig my…dig my grave…use a bloody spade

Well death takes no vacation in this land
Well death takes no vacation in this land
He comes to your house…he don’t stay long
Wake in the bed one morning… and your family’s gone
Well, death don’t have no mercy in this land
