I got a feeling of unrighteousness Bitter cold and 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 Gilliad And 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 one day own And mercy will follow me I'm told Mercy will you follow me Mercy will you follow me Until the final breath at last I take Mercy will you follow me Mercy will you follow me Till the chain of this old world I finally break Till the chain of this old world I finally break Oh, till the chain of this old world I finally break Woah, yeah
