Black Oak Arkansas - Lord Have Mercy On My Soul LYRICS

SPOKEN:

Now there´s somethin´ i´d like to talk to you
About at this particular moment an that´s about the one thing
That we won´t be able to do together and less we all we all become as one
And if we all become as one the we can walk through it together

Now i ain´t walked through it all the way yet
But there was a time i walked into it and i had to go into it alone
That´s this place called the halls of karma
Now when you go into the halls of karma the way i did
I dont know, it maight have´been allucination
But i think it was real, see i felt the presence of the two energies
The positive and the negative, of god and the devil
However you want it, and they was pullin´and decidin´
And wondering what do you do with my soul, and i wouldn´t take this
At this moment´cause i had to come back to be with you people
To do a thing and i proved to ´em, in bargainin´ with ´em
That i had a thing to do for the good of all of us

Out of this bargain, the devil, he got my body for the gooed in his needs
While im here on earth and the lords, he is got my mind
For the good of the universe and for the good of man
And they both they got me in between ¨cause they both got my soul
So the next time i come up, i want the lord to please have mercy on my soul.

SINGing

I've walked through the Halls of Karma
I shook hands with both the Devil and God
They turned my eyes to the inside to see
Where my energies have gone
Yes I've run with both all through my life
I've respected and reflected them both
Yes the sympathy of God as he looked
At my life the excitement of the Devil as we talked

So Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul

The Devil said, "scratch my back and I'll
Scratch your back for sure"
So you have done all these sins for him
My heart could not be pure
I found out what means more to me
Than anything on this earth
To be ready for my judgement day
Ready to face the truth

So Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul

I hope I've done the right things
For both your sake and mine
I preach in what I live for
My only fear is fear of time
I wanted to look logical
to both my "Maker" and his host
But this trip of life must be complete
or my cards will be lost

So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul

First heard on "Beaker Street"

("an underground music service

of the LIN Broadcasting Corporation"),

KAAY 1090-AM, Little Rock AR

long before they were 'popular'.

Invariably, it was followed-up with

"When Electricity Came To Arkansas"

from the same album.

I was 14 at the time; to paraphrase Jimi Hendrix,

I "never heard surf music again".

@MrJDCasey Me too! I actually drove to Black Oak one time just to party with Jimmy and the gang! I'd love to tell a lie, but truth is we had great time riding around looking and listening to BOA. Love from a former Marion, Arkansas BOA lover!
