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 Don, your babys gonna leave you
Her back is packed up under the bed
And I cry
Have mercy
Have mercy baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
I say, if you leave me baby
Girl if you put me down
Well Im a goin to the nearest river, child
And jump overboard and drown
Dont leave me
Have mercy
Have mercy baby
Mercy yeah
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
Well hey hey baby, hey hey now
What you tryin to do, huh?
Hey hey baby, hey hey now
Please dont say were through
I said if you stay, baby

Im gonna work to a job seven days a week
And bring my money home to you
Well I say mercy,
Mercy, mercy, mercy
