lyrics

Early morning when i rose
The confield's covered up with crows
But they ain't picking at my stocks
They're lying stiff as a hangman's drop

Mercy mercy my oh my
Blackbirds fallin from the sky
Mercy mercy warnin' bells
Grab your babies run like hell

In Alabam' and Mississip
the rivers rise and the twisters rip
you make a choice how to survive
save the farm or save your life

Mercy mercy my oh my
Blackbirds fallin from the sky
Mercy mercy warnin' bells
Grab your babies run like hell

Mercy mercy on my sin
Send up a prayer with a fast amen
Mercy mercy warnin' bells
If the floods don't getcha the twister will

Fish on the land birds in the sea
what you tryin' to say to me?
you best get right fore' you get gone
and we'll all be singin' the blackbird's song

Mercy mercy my oh my
Blackbirds fallin from the sky
Mercy mercy warnin' bells
Grab your babies run like hell

Mercy mercy on my sin
Send up a prayer with a fast amen
Mercy mercy warnin' bells
If the floods don't getcha the twister will
