Show me mercy

Show me mercy, Mary girl

Bury this here gun and play my widow

In the kitchen window

In the last of the falling sun

Show me mercy

Won't you nurse these wounds of mine

Rinse and sew me up

Baby your eyes are like a pale blue Chrysler

Drive us to the sun

Sure am thirsty

Show me mercy, Molly girl

Lift your pitcher to my mouth

Close your eyelids in the smoky silence

With your black hair falling down

Show me mercy

Show me mercy, Mary girl

Bury this here gun

With Jesus laughing, now you see what happens

When devils fall in love

Show me mercy

Smokestack curse the churchyard air

Where a virgin weeps for us

With Jesus laughing in the breezy blackness

Where devils fall in love
