Jimi Hendrix - Mercy, Mercy - Anthology Version lyrics
[Jimi Hendrix - Mercy, Mercy - Anthology Version lyrics]
Umm, have mercy, yeah have mercy on me
Well, I went to see a gypsy
And had my fortune read she said-a, 'Don
You're baby's gonna leave you
Her bag is packed up under the bed'
I cried, 'Have mercy' have mercy, baby, yeah
Have mercy, yeah have mercy on me
I said-a If you leave me, baby
Girl, if you're puttin' me down
Well, I'm a-goin' to the nearest river, child
An jump (jump) overboard (jump)
And drown (jump, jump, jump)
But don't leave me
Have mercy have mercy, baby
Mercy, yeah have mercy have mercy on me
Well now, hey hey baby hey hey now
What you tryin' to do, huh?
Hey hey baby, hey hey now
Please don't say we're through
I said if you stay here, baby
I tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna work two jobs seven days a week
An bring my money home to you
(Bring it, bring it)
But well, I said, 'Mercy' (Mercy)
Mercy (Mercy) mercy! (Mercy)
(Ooo-yee-aaah) mercy (mercy)
Mercy (mercy) mercy! (mercy)
Oh yeah
