Mercy Me
Mercy me what have I done?
I saw my daddy shoot his gun.
Heard a noise at night, and brought him out.
Him, his flashlight and his 410 no doubt.
An armadillo's what I heard,
It wasn't a cat, or a dog or a bird.
The flashlight's beam shown on his head,
He raised up, and boom! The armadillo's dead!
Mercy me, look what daddy's done!
He shot an armadillo with his gun!
