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!

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
