MERCY MERCY (Don Covay and Ronald Dean Miller)
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 "Man, your baby gonna leave you now her bags are packed up under the bed" I said
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 gonna get to the nearest river child and jump overboard and drown
I said 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
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
I said have mercy, have mercy, baby Have mercy, have mercy on me
o, please, have some have mercy, have mercy, darling/baby have mercy, have mercy on me
