Kneeling Drunkards Plea

Written by Anita Carter/Helen Carter/Mother Maybelle Carter/June Carter Cash

	  		        C         G 
Chorus: Lord have mercy on me 
                D5         C 
was the kneelin drunkard's plea 
                      D5     D  
and as he knelt there on the ground 
  C                G             C 
I know that God in Heaven looked down {X2 last time} 
 
        C                     G 
1.      I went down by an old country church 
                   D5          C 
I saw the drunkard stagger and lurch 
                      D5      D 
and as he reached his mothers grave 
  C                 G         C 
I saw that drunkard kneel and pray 
(Chorus) 
 
2.      Bring my darlin boy to me 
was his mothers dyin plea 
and as staggered through the gate 
alas he came just one day too late 
 
3.      Three years have passed since she went away 
her son is sleepin beside her today 
and I know in heaven his mother will see 
for God has heard that drunkard's plea 
(Chorus) 
 
D5 X0023X   - I think it is some D chord and this is the best one 
 
Enjoy!
