lyrics

Well don’t have no mercy in this land
Death don’t have no mercy in this land
Come to your house and he won’t stay long
You look in the bed and you’ll find your mother gone
Death don’t have no mercy in this land

He won’t give you time to get ready In this land
He won’t give you time to get ready In this land
Well he come to your house and he won’t stay long
You look in the bed and you’ll find your father gone
He won’t give you time to get ready In this land

Well he’ll leave you standin’ there cryin’ in this land
He’ll leave you standin’ there cryin’ in this land
He’ll come to your house and he won’t stay long
You look in the bed and you’ll find your sister gone
He’ll leave you standin’ there cryin’ in this land

Oh, death never takes a vacation In this land
Death never takes a vacation in this land
Well he comes to your house and he won/t stay long
You look in the bed and you’ll find everybody gone
Death never takes a vacation in this land

Well don’t have no mercy in this land
Death don’t have no mercy in this land
Come to your house and he won’t stay long
You look in the bed and you’ll find your mother gone
Death don’t have no mercy in this land
