Don Covay & The Goodtimers - Mercy!

Mercy, Mercy

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

Well, I went to see a gypsy and had my fortune read
She said, "Don, your baby's gonna leave you"
Her bag is packed up under the bed and I cried

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

I said if you leave me, baby, girl, if you put me down
Well, I'm a goin' to the nearest river, child
And jump (jump) overboard
And drown, but don't leave me (jump, jump, jump, jump)

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

I said if you stay here, 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 (bring it, bring it)

Well, I said mercy (mercy), mercy (mercy)
Mercy (mercy), mercy (mercy)
Mercy (mercy)
