Mercy

Lyrics

See, I was on the east coast Attending the wedding of some friends I have I saw a woman and a man Become a husband and a wife Under a beautiful tree Bird flew down and landed on my head I felt best and special, but that bird done flow off with a feather MERCY! MERCY! MERCY! MERCY! MERCY! MERCY! MERCY! MERCY! I may be able to see that feather again Well, I needed a change of scenery so I headed back west I put holes in my shoes, I had dirt on my clothes I looked like I am robbin' a bank machine Things started lookin' up when I made it to Rivière-du-Loup One of the pom-pom girls from the Alouettes offered to drive me home MERCY! MERCY! MERCY! MERCY! MERCY! MERCY! MERCY! MERCY! M-E-R-C-Y M-E-R-C-Y M-E-R-C-Y M-E-R-C-Y MERCY! (mercy...) MERCY! (mercy...) MERCY! (mercy...) MERCY! (mercy...) Ooo, I really needed that drive When Mary Lou dropped me off I was feeling bent out of shape She had reminded me That almost anything can happen Cause if I did not choose this life Then it must've chosen me I don't know which is worse I guess we're just gonna have to wait and see
