Tampa Red - Mercy Mama Blues

To Rate
Baby, I had to go and leave you
How can I stay
Your love is so cold, baby
I know it's gonna drive me mad

But Mercy, Mercy mama
I know it's gonna hurt me too
But if I ever leave you baby
I ain't coming back no more to you

Doing me so bad, I don't know what to do
You dog me everyday, baby
In the night you make me blue
You oughta be ashamed, baby, to treat me like you do
You should remember baby, that you have some brothers too

Got me so worried baby, my mind it come and go
How much I love you baby, I guess you'll never know
If I had this life to live again
I would give it baby, give an advice to a brother man
Play me some blues now, play it

When a man love a woman the way I'm lovin' you
It's a shame and a pity baby, to treat him like you do
But Mercy, Mercy mama
I know it's really gonna hurt me too
I've been so fair with you, baby
Now this the way you trying to do
