Delbert Mcclinton Have Mercy
Have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, please, have mercy on me
I went to see a gypsy
And I had my fortune read
She said, boy, your baby's 'bout to leave you
Her bag is packed up under her bed
So, have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, please, have mercy on me
If you stay here, baby
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna work three jobs seven days a week
And bring my money home to you
So, have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have a little mercy, please, baby, have mercy on me
Hey, hey, baby
Hey, now, child
Girl, what you tryin' to do
Hey, now, baby
Hey, now, child
Girl, I'm in love with you
So, have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, please, have mercy on me
Now if my baby leaves
If my baby puts me down
I'm gonna head on down to the nearest river
And jump overboard and drown
Hey, hey, baby
Hey, now, child
Girl, what you tryin' to do
Hey, now, baby
Hey, now, child
Girl, I'm in love with you
Have mercy, please, have mercy baby
Have a little mercy, oh, please, baby, have mercy on me
Have mercy on me, baby
