Lord Have Mercy On My Soul Lyrics - The Complete Raunch 'n' Roll Live - Black Oak Arkansas

Now there's somethin' I'd like to talk to you 

About at this particular moment and that's about the one thing 

That we won't be able to do together nnless we all become as one 

And if we all become as one then we can walk through it together 

Now I ain't walked through it all the way yet 

But there was a time I walked into it and I had to go into it alone 

That's this place called the Halls of Karma 

 

Now when you go into the Halls of Karma the way I did 

I don't know, it might have been hallucination 

But I think it was real, see I felt the presence of the two energies 

The positive and the negative, of God and the Devil 

However you want it, and they was pullin' and decidin' 

And wondering what to do with my soul, and I couldn't take this 

At this moment 'cause I had to come back to be with you people 

To do a thing and I proved to 'em, in bargainin' with 'em 

That I had a thing to do for the good of all of us 

 

Out of this bargain, the Devil, he got my body for the good in his needs 

While I'm here on earth and the Lord, he's got my mind 

For the good of the universe and for the good of man 

And they both they got me in between 'cause they both got my soul 

So the next time I come up, I want the Lord to please have mercy 

On my soul 

 

I've walked through the Halls of Karma 

I shook hands with both the Devil and God 

They turned my eyes to the inside to see 

Where my energies have gone 

 

Yes, I've run with both all through my life 

I've respected and reflected them both 

Yes the sympathy of God as He looked 

At my life the excitement of the Devil as we talked 

 

So Lord, have mercy 

Lord, have mercy on my soul 

On my soul 

 

The Devil said, "Scratch my back and I'll 

Scratch your back for sure" 

For you have done all these sins for him 

My heart could not be pure 

 

I found out what means more to me 

Than anything on this earth 

To be ready for my judgement day 

Ready to face the truth 

 

So Lord, have mercy 

Lord, have mercy on my soul 

On my soul, on my soul, on my soul, soul 

 

I hope I've done the right things 

For both your sake and mine 

I preach in what I live for 

My only fear is fear of time 

 

I wanted to look logical 

To both my Maker and his host 

But this trip of life must be complete 

Or my cards will be lost 

 

So Lord, have mercy 

Lord, have mercy on my soul 

On my soul, alright 

 

So Lord, have mercy 

Lord, have mercy on my soul 

On my soul, on my soul, soul 

 

Lord, have mercy on my soul 

 

Yes, I've walked through the Halls of Karma 

I shook hands with both the Devil and God 

Yes,I turned my eyes to the inside to see 

Where my energies have gone 

 

Yes, I've run with both all through my life 

I've respected and reflected them both 

Yes the sympathy of God as He looked 

At my life the excitement of the Devil as we talked 

 

So Lord, have mercy 

Lord, have mercy on my soul 

Lord, have mercy on my soul 

Have mercy, Lord 

Lord, have mercy on my soul 

Lord, have mercy on my soul
