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 going to 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 going to 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 - yeah yeah
yeah
Have mercy
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
But if you
stay, baby
I tell you what I'm
going to do
I'm going to work 2
jobs 7 days a week
And bring my money
home to you, that's right
Have mercy -
please
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
Yeah
Have mercy
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
