Death Don’t Have No Mercy (Live at Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA, October 9, 1989)
[Verse 1]
Death don't have no mercy in this land
Death don't have no mercy in this land, in this land
It come to your house and it don't take long
You look in the bed, find your mother's gone

[Chorus]
Death don't have no mercy in this land
Yes, death don't take no vacation in this land
Yes, and death don't take no vacation in this land, in this land

[Verse 2]
Come to your house, you know he don't take long
You look around the room, your whole family will be gone
Family will be gone
Yes, yes, and death don't take no vacation in this land

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land
I'm telling you death will leavе you standing and crying in this land
Oh Lord, oh Lord, he comes to your house and it don't takе long
You look in the bed and you find your mother gone
Death don't have no mercy, death don't have no mercy
No mercy, no mercy, no, death don't have
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Death don't have no mercy in this land
Well, death don't have no mercy in this land, in this land
It come to your house and it don't take long
You wake up one morning, everybody be gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land
