Have Mercy (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I was standin' in line at the city bus stop Soaked to the skin from every raindrop I see you drivin' by just like a phantom jet With your arm around some little brunette You say you won't be home because you're workin' late Well, 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 roses [Chorus] Have mercy on me You treat me so bad, I'm in misery It's breakin' my heart, can't you see? Baby, baby, have mercy on me, yeah [Verse 2] Wеll, I called you up on the telеphone I could hear you was playin' Haggard and Jones I knew right then that there was somethin' wrong There's only one reason you play cheatin' songs [Chorus] Have mercy on me You treat me so bad, I'm in misery It's breakin' my heart, can't you see? Baby, baby, have mercy on me, woo [Interlude] Oh, get down on your bad self Mark Jordan on keyboards over here [Verse 3] Well, I went to the bank with my little checkbook The cashier, he gave me the strangest look He said, "You ain't got no money 'cause you're overdrawn Your man took it all and he's a done gone" [Chorus] Have mercy on me You treat me so bad, I'm in misery It's breakin' my heart, can't you see? Baby, baby, have mercy on me Have mercy on me You treat me so bad, I'm in misery It's breakin' my heart, now, honey, can't you see? Baby, baby, have mercy on me, woo Oh yeah [Post-Chorus] Have mercy on me You treat me so bad, I'm in misery It's breakin' my heart, honey, can't you see? Baby, baby, have mercy on me Ow [Outro] Yeah, baby Have mercy, baby Oh yeah, we're great, woo Yee Well, a-tonight is a come as you are party You know, this is the Judd house, like I said, this is our living room now You know, I think home is any place where you feel welcome And where you can really be yourselves And you guys know us And family, actually, is anybody who accepts you just the way you are So we want you to all to know how special and unique you are tonight
