Somebody Have Mercy

[Sam Cooke]
 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 close i can
 Do that thing for me now
 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, with a matchbox hole in my clothes, yes I am
 Standin', wonderin', baby, with a matchbox hole in my clothes, yes i am
 Oh i got a long way to get there and i got-a some time to go
