"Death Don't Have No Mercy" lyrics - RAMBLIN' JACK ELLIOTT

Death don't have no mercy in this land
Death don't have no mercy in this land
He'll come to your house, but he won't stay long
Look in the bed, and you'll find your mother gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land

Death don't take a vacation in this land
Death don't take a vacation in this land
He'll come to your house, but he won't stay long
Look in the bed and you'll find your sister gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land

Death is always in a hurry in this land
Death is always in a hurry in this land
He'll come to your house, but he won't stay long
Look in the bed and you'll find your father gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land

Leave you standin' and cryin' in this land
Leave you standin' and cryin' in this land
He'll come to your house, but he won't stay long
Look in the bed and you'll find your brother gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land

Leave you standin' and cryin' in this land
Leave you standin' and cryin' in this land
He'll come to your house, but he won't stay long
You know that, someday, we will all be gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land
