Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Have mercy

Have mercy, baby

Have mercy

Have mercy on me

[Verse 2]

Well, I went to see the gypsy

To have my fortune read

She said, "Man, your baby gonna leave you

Her bags are packed up under the bed"

That's right

[Verse 3]

Have mercy

Have mercy, baby

Have mercy

Have mercy on me

[Verse 4]

But if you leave me, baby

Girl, if you put me down

I'm gonna make it to the nearest river, child

And jump overboard and drown

That's right

[Verse 5]

Have mercy

Have mercy, baby

Have mercy

Have mercy on me

[Verse 6]

I said, "Hey, hey baby, hey, hey now

What you tryna do?

Hey, hey baby, hey, hey now

Please don't say we're through"

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 7]

Have mercy

Have mercy, baby

Have mercy

Have mercy on me

[Verse 8]

But 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

That's right

[Verse 9]

Have mercy

Please, have mercy, baby

Have mercy

Have mercy on me

[Verse 10]

Yeah, have mercy

Have mercy, baby

Have mercy

Have mercy on me
