Death Don’t Have No Mercy (Live at Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, August 1968) lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 look in the bed this morning, children find your mother gone

[Chorus]
I said death don't have no mercy in this land
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land, in this land

[Verse 2]
Come to your house, you know he don't take long
You look in the bed, find that your brothers and sisters are gone
I said death don't, death don't have no mercy in this land, in this land

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
Death will go in any family in this land, in this land
Death will go in any family in this land, in this land
Come to your house, it don't take long
You look in the bed this morning, find your father's gone

[Chorus]
I said death don't, death don't have no mercy in this land
It don't vacation in this land
Death don't take no vacation in this land, in this land, hey
Come to your house, it don't take long
You look in the bed this morning, find your whole family long been gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land
