Have mercy, have mercy baby
Please have mercy, have mercy on me
Oh, have mercy, please have mercy baby

She said, "Your baby's gonna leave you
She's got her bags stashed under the bed" Have mercy, have mercy baby
Please have mercy, have mercy on me If you stay here baby, tell you what I'm gonna do

Bring my money home to you Have mercy mercy mercy, have mercy baby
