[Verse]

Have mercy, have mercy

Have mercy, people, listen now

You know what it means to be left alone

Have mercy, people

Do you know what it means to be left alone?

No letter today

Not even a call on my telephone

Every, every morning

Every morning, I hear the birds call my name

Every morning, I hear the birds call my name

Oh, little birds call me

Because my heart is so much in pain

Heaven

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Have mercy

A little loving is all in the world I need

Have mercy, have mercy now

A little loving is all in the world I need

Misunderstanding and a no good woman

They both have caused my heart to bleed
