Lord A' Mercy

Bill Quinn

Lord a Mercy! Who IS that girl?

Remember being nineteen or twenty, when every pretty girl was potentially the love of your life?

That's the fellow in this song. One Saturday night, he walks into a dancehall, spots a beautiful girl and promptly loses whatever good sense he brought with him.

Tell me you don't know a guy like this. Maybe yourself?

Before the evening is over, he's ready to change his ways, settle down and marry her. There's just one small problem. He can't remember her name.

Lord a Mercy! is a lighthearted look back at those wonderful years when the music was loud, the girls were pretty and falling in love could happen three times in a single Saturday night.

And why Lord a Mercy!?

Because at that age, that's about the only thing we had going for us.
