Kneeling Drunkard's Plea (Written by June, Helen and Anita Carter)

-- Johnny Cash (Unchained Album)

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
