Good God Have Mercy Roy Buchanan
(Intro)[E7]
[E7] Down in South Carolina, in the piney woods
[E7] Where they make sweet turpentine
[A] There I first saw the light of day
[E7] Landin' on my mind
[A] Runnin' in the sunshine laughing
[E7] Rollin' in the red dirt crying
[E7] I said [C]mmmm [D]mmmm
[E7] Good God have mercy
[E7] Cannery warehouse baby, I went to school
[E7] I eat lunch from the cans of our store
[A] Heatin' them up on a pot-bellied stove
[E7] I used to keep out in the cold
[A] Sittin' around, you know, just tellin' lies about uh
[E7] What I'd be when I grew old
[E7] I said [C]mmmm [D]mmmm
[E7] Good God have mercy
[E7] Trestle track, now mama
[E7] Where the BNN used to haul
[A] Freight train caught daddy one day
[E7] He took a long, long fall
[A] I'd only been taught to think on life
[E7] Never thought on death at all
[E7] I said [C]mmmm [D]mmmm
[E7] Good God have mercy
(Solo)
[E7] Now every Sunday after church
[E7] There'd be a meeting on the ground
[A] Some good soul she would always say
[E7] It's a shame about Frieda Brown
[A] Mama and the ladies they formed a society
[E7] They run Frieda out of town
[E7] I said [C]mmmm [D]mmmm
[E7] Good God have mercy
[E7] Daddy's on the main line, mama wants him home
[E7] Daddy's on the main line, the kids all need him home
[E7] Good God have mercy
