Mercy Dee (Walton) — One Room Country Shack lyrics

Lyrics

Specialty #458 Recorded May 13, 1952
Transcriber: Awcantor@aol.com
Sittin’here a thousand miles from nowhere
In this one room country little shack
Sittin’here a thousand miles from nowhere
In this one room country little shack
Lord, my only worldly per’cession
Is a raggi-ly old 'leven foot cotton sack
I wake up ev’ry night around midnight
Peoples, I just can’t sleep no mo'
I wake up ev’ry night around midnight
Peoples, I just can’t sleep no mo'
Only crickets and frogs to keep me comp’ny
And the wind howlin’around my do'
(piano)
I’m gonna leave here early in the mo’nin'
I’m 'bout to go out of my mind
I’m gonna leave so early in the mo’nin'
I’m 'bout to go out of my mind
I’m gonna find me some kind of a companion
Even if she dumb, deaf, cripple and blind.
