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

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Lyrics: Rev Gary Davis
As performed by the Gateful Dead

Death don't have no mercy in this land
Death don't have no mercy in this land
In this land
He comes to your house, you know he don't take long
You look in the bed this morning children
You find that your mother is 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
He comes to your house, you know he don't stay long
You look in the bed this morning children
You find that your brothers and sisters have 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
In this land
He comes to your house, you know he don't take long
You look in the bed this morning children
You find that your family's gone
I said death don't have no mercy in this land
