Somebody Have Mercy

Sam Cooke · One Night Stand - Sam Cooke Live At The HSC, 1963 [2005]

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 acting up again



Oh

Let me tell you

I'm going down to the bus station with a suitcase in my hand

Yes I am

I'm going 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

I wonder what is wrong with me

Lord have mercy

Sometimes I don't know how I stand the things this woman do to me



Do that one more time

My fellas

I'm standing here wondering baby

With a matchbox hole in my clothes

Standing wondering baby

With a matchbox hole in my clothes

Oh

I got a long way to get there and I got-a some time to go
