You told me last night I had to hit the road
You done got tired of pulling my load
But babe, don't say that no more
Please have mercy on me baby, 'cause, I don't want to go
Told me you loved me and proudly so
Tellin' all your friends
You won't quit no more
But babe, don't say that no more
Please have mercy on me, baby, 'cause I don't want to go
Oh babe
Oh babe
Oh babe
Oh babe, please have mercy on me, baby, 'cause I don't want to go
Seven days a week I bring you all my pay
Tell me baby what more can I say
But babe, don't say that no more
Please have mercy on me baby, 'cause, I don't want to go
Told me you loved me and proudly so
Tellin' all your friends
You won't quit me more
But babe, don't say that no more
Please have mercy on me, baby, 'cause I don't want to go
Oh babe
Oh babe
Oh babe
Oh babe, please have mercy on me, baby, 'cause I don't want to go
