Rev. Gary Davis
Death Don’t Have No Mercy (Live at Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA, September 29, 1989)
[Verse 1]
Death don't have no mercy in this land
You know death don't have no mercy in this land, in this land
Come to your house and no, it don't take long
You look in the bed, find your mama is gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land

[Verse 2]
See now, death don't take no vacation in this land
Death don't take no vacation in this land, in this land
Come to your house, know he doesn't take long
Look around the room, you see mother will be gone, mother will be gone
See now, death don't, death don't take no vacation in this land

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land
I say death will leave you standing and crying in this land
Oh Lord, oh Lord, comes to your house and it don't take long
You look around and you, and you find your mother gone
Death, death don't have no mercy in this land
No mercy, no

[Outro]
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, you know it don't take long
You wake up one morning, your family be gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land
