about

this one was recorded in the swamp

lyrics

Well I left my home, went out all alone,
down the long winding road
and the things I did see weigh heavy on me
and there's no one to help carry this load

Mercy, oh have mercy on me
a girl in search of the songs
mercy, oh have mercy on me
I've been on the road too long

And on the plains the rains never came
and the river was only a dream
I met a man lyin' parched on the sand
cryin' 'water, water, oh please'

'Mercy, oh have mercy on me
a man whose well has run dry
mercy, oh have mercy on me
lest I should thirst til I die'

And on the sea, the waves roll and heave,
I woke up on board a boat
there was a girl who'd sworn off the world
and these were the words that she spoke - she said:

'Mercy, oh have mercy on me
for loving so false of a man
mercy, oh have mercy on me
I'll die before I ever love again'

Where there once was a wood, the redwoods once stood,
and eagles would come to rest
I found a boy who had no use for joy
for sorrows had made him their nest

'Mercy, oh have mercy on me
a boy who will forever grieve
mercy, oh have mercy on me
without the forests there'll be no reprieve'

I left my home, went out all alone
down the long winding road
and the things I did see weigh heavy on me
and there's no one to help carry this load

Mercy, oh have mercy on me
a girl in search of the songs
mercy, oh have mercy on me
I've been on the road too long

I've been on the road too long
I've been on the road too long
