Kneeling Drunkard's Plea 
By Johnny Cash  written by June, Helen and Anita Carter
 
C         G7
Lord have mercy on me
                 F          C
Was the kneeling drunkard's plea
                      F
And as he knelt there on the ground
  C                G7            C
I know that God in Heaven looked down 
 
                  G7
I went down by an old country church
                   F           C
I saw the drunkard stagger and lurch
                      F
And as he reached his mothers grave
  C                 G7        C
I saw that drunkard kneel and pray
 
Repeat #1
 
                 G7
Bring my darling boy to me
                F     C
Was his mothers dying plea
                 F
And as staggered through the gate
     C                G7      C
Alas he came just one day too late
 
                        G7
Three years have passed since she went away
                    F          C
Her son is sleeping beside her today
                         F
And I know in heaven his mother will see
    C                  G7         C
For God has heard that drunkard's plea
 
Repeat #1
