Howlin’ Mercy (written by Dennis Walker, performed by Malaya Blue)

Howlin’, mercy x 2
How could he harm a helpless child
My sisters always said don’t trust him
But I was too young to understand
My sisters always said don’t trust him
But I was too young to understand
How could we hide from my father
And his cold cruel, wounding hands

Messin’ mercy x 2
My sisters always said don’t struggle
Mama won’t come if you call
My sisters always said don’t struggle
Mama won’t come if you call
But where could we hide from my father
At night when he’d creep down the hall

Messin’ mercy x 2
His breath in the darkness
A shadow of a man
His eyes were always hungry
Prowling wolf among the lambs
Howlin’ Mercy, Howlin’ Mercy

My sisters always said their nightmares
They’re still as real as life
My sisters always said their nightmares
They’re still as real as life
Where could we hide from my father
He left his poison deep inside

Howlin’ mercy x 2

Howlin’ Mercy x 5

How could he harm a helpless child?
