Mercy, Mercy

Have mercy

Have mercy, baby

Umm, have mercy, yeah

Have mercy on me

Well, I went to see a gypsy

And had my fortune read

She said-a, 'Don, you're baby's gonna leave you

Her bag is packed up under the bed'

I cried, 'Have mercy'

Have mercy, baby, yeah

Have mercy, yeah

Have mercy on me

I said-a ;If you leave me, baby

Girl, if you're puttin' me down

Well, I'm a-goin' to the nearest river, child

An jump (jump) overboard (jump)

And drown (jump, jump, jump)

But 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, huh?

Hey-hey, baby, hey-hey, now

Please don't say we're through

<guitar & instrumental>

I said if you stay here, baby

I tell ya what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna work two jobs

Seven days a week

An bring my money home to you

(Bring it, bring it)

But well, I said, 'Mercy'

(Mercy)

Mercy

(Mercy)

Mercy!

(Mercy)

(Ooo-yee-aaah)

FADES-

Mercy (mercy)

Mercy (mercy)

Mercy! (mercy)

Oh yeah.
