Death don t have no mercy lyrics

Death don't have no mercy in this land
Death don't have no mercy in this land
He'll come to your house and he won't stay long
You'll look in the bed and somebody will be gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land
Well Death will go in any family in this land
Well Death will go in every family in this land
Well he'll come to your house and he won't stay long
Well you'll look in the bed and one of your family will be gone
Death will go in any family in this land
Well he never takes a vacation in this land
Well old Death never takes a vacation in this land
Well he'll come to your house and he won't stay long
Well you'll look in the bed and your mother will be gone
Death never takes a vacation in this land

Talk
Great God
Yeah
Well he'll leave you standin' and cryin' in this land
Well Death will leave you standin' and cryin' in this land
Well he'll come to your house and he won't stay long
You'll look in the bed and somebody will be gone
Death will leave you standin' and cryin' in this land
Old Death always in a hurry in this land
Old Death always in a hurry in this land
Well he'll come to your house and he won't stay long
You'll look in the bed and your mother will be gone
Death always in a hurry in this land

Well he won't give you time to get ready in this land
Well he won't give you time to get ready in this land
Well he'll come to your house and he won't stay long
Well you'll look in the bed and somebody will be gone
Death won't give you time to get ready in this land
Make your last talk
Talk to me Death
Talk to me

Y'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
Look in bed this morning, children find your mother gone.

I said death don't have no mercy in this land.
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land,
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land, in this land, yeah!

Whoa! come to your house, why' know he don't stay long,
Why' look in bed this morning,
Children you find that your brothers and sisters are gone.
I said 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.
Come to your house, you know he don't take long.
Look in the bed on the morning, children find that your family's gone.

I said death don't have no mercy in this land.
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land,
In this land. whoa! come to your house,
Why' know it don't stay long, why' look in bed this morning,
Children find that your brothers and sisters are gone.

I said death don't, death don't have no mercy in this land.

Death don’t have no mercy in this land
Death don’t have no mercy in this land
It comes to your house, it won’t stay long
Somebody will be gone, ’cause
Death don’t have no mercy in our land.

Death will go into any family in this land, I know him
Death comes into any family in this land
He’s going to come in your family
He won’t stay long
Look in your bed, and you’ll be gone
Wake up dead.

Death don’t have no mercy in this land
Death don’t have no mercy in this land
One night, you go to bed
The very next morning going to wake up dead
Because Father Death has got no mercy at all.

Never takes a vacation in our land
Death don’t take no vacation
He’ll come to your house but he won’t stay long
Look in the bedroom, mother will be gone
I swear, he’s got no mercy in this land.

He’ll leave you, standing and crying in this land
Death will leave you, standing alone and crying in this land
He’ll come to your house, he won’t stay long
Look in the bed, someone else is gone
Death don’t have mercy in our land.

Death’s always in a hurry, I understand
Death’s always in a hurry, I can understand
He won’t give you time to get ready
He won’t even say, ready, steady go!
You gotta go when it comes
Cos he’s got no mercy in this land
Who cares
Got no mercy in this land.
Death’s got no mercy in this land.

Grateful Dead Lyrics

"Death Don't Have No Mercy"

Why 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
Look in bed this morning, children find your mother gone

I said death don't have no mercy in this land
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land, in this land, yeah!

Whoa! Come to your house, y' know he don't stay long
Why look in bed this morning
Children you find that your brothers and sisters are gone
I said 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
Come to your house, you know he don't take long
Look in the bed on the morning, children find that your family's gone

I said death don't have no mercy in this land
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land
In this land. Whoa! Come to your house
Y' know it don't stay long, y' look in bed this morning
Children find that your brothers and sisters are gone
I said death don't, death don't have no mercy in this land
