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

Well, I went to see a gypsy
Had my fortune read
She said "you know, your baby's gonna leave you"
His bags are packed up under the bed, and I cried

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

Well now, hey hey baby
Hey hey now
What're you tryna do?
I said, hey hey baby
Hey hey now
Please don't say with you

Have mercy
Have mercy baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me

But now, if you stay here baby
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna work two jobs, seven days a week
And bring my money home to you

Have mercy
Have mercy baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me

Have mercy
Mercy
