Have mercy
Have mercy baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on meWell I went to see a gypsy
And had my fortune read
She said Don, your baby's gonna leave you
Her back is packed up under the bed
And I cryHave mercy
Have mercy baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on meI say, if you leave me baby
Girl if you put me down
Well I'm a goin' to the nearest river, child
And jump from above to the ground
Don't leave meHave mercy
Have mercy baby
Mercy yeah
Have mercy
Have mercy on meWell hey hey baby, hey hey now
What you tryin' to do, huh?
Hey hey baby, hey hey now
Please don't say we're throughI said if you stay, baby
I tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna work to a job seven days a week
And bring my money home to youWell I say mercy,
mercy, mercy, mercy...
