Death don't have no mercy in this land
Death don't have no mercy in this land

He'll come to your house and he won't stay long
You look in the bed and somebody will be gone
Death don't have no mercy in this land

He won't give you time to get ready in this land
He won't give you time to get ready in this land

He'll come into your house and he won't stay long
You'll look in the bed and your mother will be gone
There's no time to get ready in this land

He'll leave you standin' and cryin' in this land
Death'll leave you standin' and cryin' in this land

He'll come to your house and he won't stay long
You'll look in the bed and your woman will be gone
Death'll leave you standin' and cryin' in this land

No, death don't have no mercy in this land
