Have mercy, mercy, baby 
I know I done you wrong 
Have mercy, mercy, baby 
I know I done you wrong 

My heart is full of sorrow 
Take me back where I belong 

I've been good for nothing 
I've lied and cheated too 
I've been good for nothing 
I've lied and cheated too 

Been reaping all all my sorrow 
I don't know what to do 

Lord, have mercy, baby 
Tell me, what have I done wrong 
Have mercy, mercy, baby 
Tell me, what have I done wrong 

Been reaping all all my sorrow 
Take me back where I belong 
Oh, yeah, yeah 

So, have mercy, mercy, baby 
I know I done you wrong 
Oh, have mercy, baby 
I know I done you wrong 

But my heart is full of sorrow 
Take me back where I belong 

I've been good for nothing 
I've lied and cheated too 
I've been good for nothing 
I've lied and cheated too 

Been reaping all all my sorrow 
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
