Oh lord, have mercy on my soul
My own mind has got me down so low
She got me beggin' prayin' on my knees
Oh, she got me beggin' please

What a woman, dreaming this way
The truth that I disobey
So won't you free me from this ball and chain
And tell me my love is not in vain

Love of orange, birds of black
I've got a loose one behind my back
Someone help me and make sure
The woman won't be coming back no more

Let's have mercy and give me some
This wage just can't go on
Have mercy, give me what I need
Bring me the gold and seaweed
Yeaah
