Have Mercy Judge

Have mercy, I'm in a world of trouble now
 I'm being held by the State Patrol
 I am charged with traffic of the forbidden
 And I almost finished doing my parole
 Now, I'm on my way back downtown
 Somebody help me, have mercy on my soul
 ♪
 I go to court tomorrow morning
 And I got the same judge I had before
 Lord, and I know he won't have no mercy on me
 'Cause he told me not to come back no more
 He'll send me away to some stoney mansion
 In a lonely room and lock the door
 ♪
 Oh Lord, have mercy on my little Tulane
 She's too alive to try to live alone
 And I know her needs
 And although she loves me
 She wanna try to make it
 While the poor boy's gone
 She can't do it alone
 Somebody should tell her to leave
 And I'll understand it
 And even love her more
 When I come back home
