Mercy, Mercy Lyrics

Have mercy
Have mercy baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
Well I went to see the gypsy
And had my fortune read
She said man, your baby's gonna leave you
Her bags are packed up under the bed
And I cry

Have mercy
Have mercy baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me

I said if you leave me baby
Girl if you put me down
I'm a goin' to the nearest river, child
And jump overboard and drown
Don't leave me
Have mercy
Have mercy baby
Mercy yeah
Have mercy
Have mercy on me

Well now hey hey baby, hey hey now
What you tryin' to do?
Hey hey baby, hey hey now
Please don't say we're through
I said 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

Well I said have mercy,
Have mercy baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me...
