Mercy Mercy Lyrics - Soul Dressing - Booker T. And The Mg's

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 Don, your baby's gonna leave you 

Her back is packed up under the bed 

And I cry 

Have mercy 

Have mercy baby 

Have mercy 

Have mercy on me 

I say, if you leave me baby 

Girl if you put me down 

Well I'm a goin' to the nearest river, child 

And jump from above to the ground 

Don't leave me 

Have mercy 

Have mercy baby 

Mercy yeah 

Have mercy 

Have mercy on me 

Well 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, 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 

Well I say mercy 

Mercy, mercy, mercy
