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!

(Guitar solo)

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.
