Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy on me Said I done searched the whole world over And I can't find my lover nowhere Oh Lord Said I cried, Lord have mercy Lord have mercy on me Said I cried, Lord have mercy Lord have mercy on me Send my baby back Or I will live in misery Oh Lord, hey, hey
