Now there's no need for you
Standing there cryin'
'Cause you know your cryin' won't
Ease your mind

And I'm begging you
I'm begging you
To come on in this house
Yeah, this old house

When you hear me holler
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
I love you so

If I had a million dollars
I'd give you every dime
Just to hear you call me "daddy"
Just one more time

And I'm begging you
I'm begging you
To come on in this house
Yeah, this old house

When you hear me holler
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
I love you so
I love you so

Well, if I've been a bad [?], baby
Bound to change my ways
I don't want bad luck and trouble
To follow me all my days

Mercy mercy, baby
Lord, have mercy on me
Well, if I've done somebody wrong
Have mercy, if you please

I used to have plenty, plenty of money, money, money, money
The finest clothes in town
But bad luck and trouble, trouble, trouble
Was trying to get me down

Mercy mercy, baby
Have mercy on me
Well, if I've done somebody wrong
Have mercy everyday
