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,
|
thats 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
|
thats right
|
Have mercy, have mercy, baby
|
have mercy, have mercy on me
|

|
|
Have mercy, have mercy, baby
|
have mercy, have mercy on me
