Lord, I was layin' down last night, people
Lord, I was thinkin' all to myself
Lord, I was layin' down last night, people
Lord, I was thinkin' all to myself
Lord, my baby gone away an left me
An Lord, she left me all alone
You know I go-ooh to my window
Looks up at the stars above
You know I go-ooh to my window
Looks up at the stars above.
I said Lord, have mercy, have mercy.
She's the only girl that I love
Lord, have mercy!
I said, Lord, Lord, oh Lord
You musta heard my prayer
I said, Lord, oh Lord
You musta heard my cry
Called one Tuesday mo'nin', Tuesday mo'nin
An my baby she come walkin' home
Lord, I thank you, Lord, I thank you
Lord, what all you did for me
Lord, I thank you, thank you-ooo
Thank you-ooo, thank you
Oh, all you done for me
My baby back home with me
I'm just as happy as I can be
