I'm gonna work two jobs, seven days a week
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
Have mercy, baby
What you trying to do?
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Please have mercy, baby
Have mercy
She said "Man, your baby gonna leave you
Well, I went to see the gypsy
Have mercy
And bring my money home to you, that's right
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Have mercy
Have mercy
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy
I'm gonna make it to the nearest river, child
Hey, hey baby, hey, hey now
And jump overboard and drown, that's right
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy
Have mercy
Have mercy
But if you stay, baby
I said, "Hey, hey, baby, hey, hey now
I tell you what I'm gonna do
But if you leave me, baby
Her bags are packed up under the bed", that's right
Girl, if you put me down
To have my fortune read
Have mercy
Please don't say we're through, yeah, yeah, yeah"
