Mercy, Mercy

by Johnny Winter

on Together (1976)

Have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, yeah yeah yeah, have mercy on me

I went to see the gypsy
Have my fortune read
She said "Son, your woman's gonna leave you now
Her bags are packed up under the bed"

Have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, yeah yeah yeah, have mercy on me

But if you leave me, baby
Girl, if you put me down
I'm gonna to the nearest river, child
And jump overboard and drown

Have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, yeah yeah yeah, have mercy on me

I said, "Hey hey, baby, hey hey now
What you trying to do?"
Said, "Hey hey, baby, hey hey now
Please don't say we're through"

But if you stay here, baby
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

Have mercy, have mercy, baby
Have mercy, yeah yeah yeah, have mercy on me

I said, "Hey hey, baby, hey hey now
What you trying to do?"
Said, "Hey hey, baby, hey hey now
Please don't say we're through"
