Sam Cooke - Somebody Have Mercy Lyrics

Somebody have mercy and tell me what is wrong with me
Somebody have mercy and tell me what is wrong with me
Sometimes I don't know how I stand the things this woman do to me

Let me tell you
When I think about how she do me, the tears fall down like rain, like rain

When I think about how she do me, the tears fall down like rain, like rain

When I think I've got her chained down, she starts actin' up again

Oh let me tell you
I'm goin' down to the bus station with a suitcase in my hand, yes I am

I'm goin' down to the bus station with a suitcase in my hand, yes I am

I'm gonna grab me an armful of greyhound and ride just as far as I can
Do that thing for me now

(Harmonica solo)

Let me tell you one more time
Somebody have mercy I wonder what is wrong with me, lord have mercy

Somebody have mercy I wonder what is wrong with me, yeah
Sometimes I don't know how I stand the things this woman do to me

Do that one more time, my fellas
I'm standin' here wonderin', baby, will a matchbox hold my clothes, yes I am standin', wonderin', baby, will a matchbox hold my clothes, yes I am

Oh I got a long way to get there and I got-a short time to go

(Scat singing, to fade)
