Death don't have no mercy in this land
Y' know death don't have no mercy in this land, in this land
Come to your house, you know he don't take long
You look in the bed, you find your mama is gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land
I said death don't take no vacation in this land
Death don't take no vacation in this land, in this land
Come to your house, no he doesn't stay long
Look around the room, you see your father will be gone
Say now death don't, death don't take no vacation in this land
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land
I said death will you standing and crying in this land, in this land
He comes into your house and he don't take long
You look all around and you find your mother gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land
Death don't have no mercy in this land
Death don't have no mercy in this land, in this land
Come to your house, you know he don't take long
You wake up one morning and your whole family be gone
Oh, death don't have no mercy in this land
Here is the table of contents.
