Have Mercy

Well, I was standing in line at the city bus stop Soaked to the skin from ev'ry rain drop I see you driving by just like a phantom jet With your arm around some little brunette You say you won't be home because you're working late Honey, I'm no fool, you've been out on a date The lipstick on your collar gives your game away It's strawberry red and mine's pink rose [Chorus] Have mercy on me You treat me so bad I'm in misery It's breaking my heart, can't you see Baby, baby have mercy on me Well, I called you up on the telephone I could hear you was playin' Haggard and Jones I knew right then that there was something wrong There's only one reason you play cheatin' songs [Chorus] Well, I went to the bank with my little check book The cashier, he gave me the strangest look He said, You ain't got no money 'cause you're over drawn Your man took it all and he's done gone! [Chorus]
