Chorus:
A E A E A E A E
Have mercy, have mercy baby
A F#m D E A E
Have mercy, have mercy on me
A B A D A E
Well I went to see the gypsy, to have my fortune read
A B A D
She said man, your baby gonna leave you
A E
Her bags are packed up under the bed
Chorus
But if you leave me baby, girl if you put me down
I’m gonna make it to the nearest river child
And jump overboard and drown
Chorus
F#m
I said hey hey baby, hey hey now
What you tryin’ to do
Hey hey baby, hey hey now

Please don’t say we’re through

But if you stay baby, I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna work two jobs, seven days a week
And bring my money back to you
