Have mercy, have mercy baby
|
Have mercy, have mercy on me
|
|
Well I went to see a gypsy
|
And had my fortune read
|
She said, "Todd, your baby's gonna leave you.
|
The bags are packed up under the bed."
|
And I cried...
|
|
I said, "If you leave me baby,
|
Girl if you put me down,
|
Well I'm going to the nearest river child,
|
And jump overboard and drown."
|
|
Well now hey hey baby, hey hey now
|
What are you trying to do?
|
Well now hey hey baby, hey hey now
|
Please don't say we're through.
|
|
I say, "If you stay here baby,
|
Tell you what I'm going to do.
|
I'm going to work two jobs, seven days a week,
|
And bring my money home to you."
|
And I'm crying...
