Mercy, Mercy lyrics

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 tryin' to do? Huh

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 gonna do

I'm gonna work two jobs, seven 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
