"Lord Have Mercy When I Come To Die" is one of Son House’s lesser known spirituals, yet one of his most powerful. In 1964 Son House was newly rediscovered and reworking, relearning, and remembering, the songs of his younger days and "Lord Have Mercy When I Come To Die" is one of those songs from his “practice” sessions but was never fully developed and all but forgotten.
