Jimmy Barnes - Mercy Mercy

MERCY MERCY (by Covay/Ott, first recorded by Don Covay in 1964) Have mercy, have mercy baby, Have mercy, have mercy on me. Well, I went to see a gypsy To have my fortune read, She said "Boy, your baby's gonna leave you, Her bags are packed up under the bed." Have mercy, have mercy, baby Have mercy, have mercy on me. I said "Baby, if you leave me, Girl, if you put me down, I'm a goin' to the nearest river, child And jump from above to the ground." Have mercy, have mercy, baby Have mercy, have mercy on me. I said "Hey hey baby, hey hey now, What you trying to do? Hey hey baby, hey hey now, Please don't say we're through." I said "Baby, if you stay, 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." Oh have mercy, have mercy, baby, Oh have mercy, have mercy on me, Listen, I said, mercy (mercy) I said, mercy (mercy) I said, mercy, baby (mercy) Mercy, mercy, mercy… Have mercy, baby! Have mercy, Mercy on me! (mercy on me)
