Lyrics[edit | edit source]

you know death don't have no mercy in this land
death don't have no mercy in this land, in this land
come to your house, you know he don't take long
you look in the bed this morning children find that your mama is gone
i say, death don't have no mercy in this land

death will leave you standing and crying in this land
i said death will you standing and crying in this land, in this land
he comes into your house and he don't stay long
you look in the bed this morning children find that your brothers & sisters are gone
i say, death don't have no mercy in this land


death will go in any family, in this land
death will go in any family, in this land, in this land
come to your house, you know he don't take long
you look in the bed this morning children find that your family's gone
i say, death don't have no mercy in this land

death will leave you standing and crying in this land
death will you standing and crying in this land, in this land
he comes into your house and he don't take long
you look in the bed this morning children find that your brothers & sisters are gone
i say, death don't have no mercy in this land
