Lord Have Mercy On A Country Boy Lyrics - Don Williams

(Bob McDill) 

Well, I grew up wild and free 

Walkin' these fields in my bare feet 

There wasn't no place I couldn't go 

With a twenty-two rifle and a fishing pole. 

Chorus: 

Well, I live in the city but don't fit in 

You know its a pity the shape I'm in 

Well, I got no home and I got no choice 

Oh Lord, have mercy on a country boy.

--- Instrumental --- 

When I was young I remember well 

I'd hunt the wild turkey and the bob-white quail 

The river was clear and deep back then 

And fishin' lines tied to the willow limb. 

Chorus: 

Well, I live in the city but don't fit in 

You know its a pity the shape I'm in 

Well, I got no home and I got no choice 

Oh Lord, have mercy on a country boy. 

--- Instrumental --- 

Well, they dammed the river, they dammed the stream 

They cut down the cypress and the sweet gum trees 

There's a laundra' mat and a barber shop 

And now the whole meadow is a parkin' lot.
