Lord Have Mercy on a Country Boy Lyrics

Artist: Don Williams (Buy Don Williams CDs)
Album: True Love

Well I grew up wild and free
Walkinâ‚¬â„¢ these fields in my bare feet
There wasnâ‚¬â„¢t no place I couldnâ‚¬â„¢t go
With a twenty-two rifle and a fishing pole

CHORUS:
Well I live in the city but donâ‚¬â„¢t fit in
You know its a pity the shape Iâ‚¬â„¢m in
Well I got no home and I got no choice
Oh Lord, have mercy on a country boy

When I was young I remember well
Iâ‚¬â„¢d hunt the wild turkey and the bob-white quail
The river was clear and deep back then
And fishinâ‚¬â„¢ lines tied to the willow limb

Well they dammed the river, they dammed the stream
They cut down the cypress and the sweet gum trees
Thereâ‚¬â„¢s a laundraâ‚¬â„¢ mat and a barber shop
And now the whole meadow is a parkinâ‚¬â„¢ lot
