Song: Lord Have Mercy on a Country Boy

By: Josh Turner

Intro: D G D A D Bm G A D

D A D

Well I grew up wild and free

G D A D

Walkin’ these fields in my bare feet

D A D

There wasn’t no place I couldn’t go

G D A D

With a twenty-two rifle and a fishing pole

CHORUS:

G D A D

Well I live in the city but don’t fit in

Bm G A D

You know its a pity the shape I’m in

G D A D

Well I got no home and I got no choice

Bm G A D

Oh Lord, have mercy on a country boy

Fill: G D A D Bm G A D

D A D

When I was young I remember well

G D A D

I’d hunt the wild turkey and the bob-white quail

D A D

The river was clear and deep back then

G D A D

And fishin’ lines tied to the willow limb

Chorus

D A D

Well they dammed the river, they dammed the stream

G D A D

They cut down the cypress and the sweet gum trees

D A D

There’s a laundra’ mat and a barber shop

G D A D

And now the whole meadow is a parkin’ lot

Chorus 2X

Bm G A G D A D Bm G A D

Oh Lord, have mercy on a country boy
