Somebody have mercy and

tell me what is wrong with me (2x)

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 (2x)

When I think I've got her chained down,

she starts actin' up again



Oh, let me tell you

I'm going down to the bus station

with a suitcase in my hand, yes I am (2x)

I'm gonna grab me an armful of greyhound

and ride just as close I can

do that thing for me know



Let me tell you one more time

Somebody have mercy,

I wonder what is wrong with me (2x)

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
