It's two in the morning
Baby's in bed
Where are you?
I can't rest my head
It's three in the morning
Cat scratching at the door
Full moon rising
I walk the floor
Four in the morning
No headlights on the streets
Ain't no one up
But I can't sleep
Five in the morning
Birds are waking up
Are you in trouble
Or are you getting …, oh!
Please have a little mercy on me
Please have a little mercy on me
[…]
[Baby ... me]
If you didn't […] me
Why didn't you let me be
I work for you
Like a slave [in the ] corn
Hard work is done
And now you let me go
But please have a little mercy on me
Please have a little mercy on me
The baby's up
And you're nowhere around
Maybe you've been raped by the river
Cut-throat and drowned
Maybe you've been shot
Shot in the head
Maybe someone poisoned you
And took you to their bed
Please have a little mercy on me
Please have a little mercy on me
Oh, please have a little mercy on me
Please have a little mercy on me
