Lord have mercy on me Was the kneeling drunkard's plea And as he knelt there on the ground I know that God in heaven looked down 上帝怜悯我当时跪醉汉的呼吁当他跪在那儿在地上，我知道，上帝在天上看下来

   

I went down by an old country church I saw the drunkard stagger and lurch And as he reached his mother's grave I saw that drunkard kneel and pray 我去了一个古老的乡村教堂只见醉汉踉跄蹒跚而当他达到了他母亲的坟墓，我看到酒鬼跪下祈祷

   

Lord have mercy on me Was the kneeling drunkard's plea And as he knelt there on the ground I know that God in heaven looked down 上帝怜悯我当时跪醉汉的呼吁当他跪在那儿在地上，我知道，上帝在天上看下来

   

Bring my darling boy to me Was his mother's dying plea And as he staggered through the gate A lassie came just one day too late 把我亲爱的男孩我是他母亲的临终请求当他通过门交错一个女孩来了短短一天为时已晚

   

Three years have passed since she went away Her son is sleeping beside her today And I know that in heaven his mother he'll see For God has heard that drunkard's plea 三年过去了，因为她走了她的儿子正在睡觉今天她的身旁，我知道在天堂的母亲，他会看到上帝听到醉汉的请求

   

Lord have mercy on me Was the kneeling drunkard's plea And as he knelt there on the ground I know that God in heaven looked down 上帝怜悯我当时跪醉汉的呼吁当他跪在那儿在地上，我知道，上帝在天上看下来
