Oh,oh, oh mercy, mercy me,
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east


Oh,oh, oh Mercy, mercy me,
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
Our seas fish full of mercury,


Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no, no
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live near by are dying


Oh, mercy, mercy me.
Ah, things ain't what they used to be
What about this over crowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Uuu, oh, nooo, uuu my love, my sweet love
No, no, no my, my love, my sweet love
uuuuu
