Mercy, Mercy

(album: Long Wave - 2012)

Have mercy
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy
Mmm, have mercy on me

Well, I went to see the gypsy
To have my fortune read
She said "Man, your baby's gonna leave you
Her bags are packed up under the bed"
I cry

Have mercy
Have mercy, baby
Mmm, have mercy
Have mercy on me

I said, if you leave me, baby
Girl, if you put me down
I'm going to the nearest river, child
And jump overboard and drown
Don't leave me

Have mercy
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me

Well now, 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 to a job seven days a week
And bring my money home to you (Bring it, bring it)
Well, I said

Have mercy
Have mercy, baby
Mmm, have mercy
Have mercy on me

Have mercy
Have mercy on me
Have mercy (Mercy, baby)
Have mercy on me
Mmm, have mercy
Have mercy on me
