Have mercy, have mercy, baby |
|
Have mercy, have mercy on me |
|
Well I went to see the gypsy |
|
To have my fortune read |
|
She said "Man, your baby gonna leave you |
|
Her bags are packed up under the bed," |
|
That's right |
|
Have mercy, have mercy, baby |
|
Have mercy, have mercy on me |
|
But if you leave me baby |
|
Girl if you put me down |
|
I'm gonna make it to the nearest river child |
|
And jump overboard and drown |
|
That's right |
|
Have mercy, have mercy, baby |
|
Have mercy, have mercy on me |
|
I said hey hey baby, hey hey now |
|
What you trying to do |
|
Hey hey baby, hey hey now |
|
Please don't say we're through |
|
Have mercy, have mercy, baby |
|
Have mercy, have mercy on me |
|
But if you stay baby |
|
I tell you what I'm gonna do |
|
I'm gonna work two jobs, seven days a week |
|
And bring my money home to you |
|
That's right |
|
Have mercy, have mercy, baby |
|
Have mercy, have mercy on me |
|
Yeah |
|
Have mercy, have mercy, baby |
|
Have mercy, have mercy on me |
