Now there's no need for you
Standing there cryin'
Cause you know your cryin' won't
Ease your mind
And I'm begging you
I'm begging you
To come on in this house
Yea this old house
When you hear me holler
Oh yea yea yea
I love you so
And if I had a million dollars
I'd give you every dime
Just to hear you call me daddy
One more time
And I'm begging you
I'm begging you
To come on in this house
Yea this old house
When you hear me holler
Oh yea yea yea
I love you so
I love you so
Well if I've been a bad (?) baby
Bound to change my ways
I don't want bad luck and trouble
To follow me all my days
Have mercy, baby
Lord have mercy
Well if I've done somebody wrong
Have mercy if you please
I used to have plenty, plenty of money, money, money, money
The finest clothes in town
But bad luck and trouble, trouble, trouble
Was trying to get me down
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy on me
Well if I've done somebody wrong
Have mercy everyday
