I Could Cry - Buddy Guy, Junior Wells

Oh, sometimes I could cry

Woman I could just lay down and die

Oh, sometimes I could cry

Woman I could just lay down and die

Well if you listen to the story now

My pal Buddy will tell you the reason why

My baby needs and she love me

In the evenin' when I come home

Whoa, my baby needs and she love me

In the evenin' when I come home, oh yes

But seems like everything I do

Everything I do is wrong

I used to have plenty money

The finest clothes in town

Nothin' ever got in my way until

You come to get me down

I’m say’n mercy, mercy, mercy baby

Ooh have mercy on me, oh yes

I’ll always love you darlin'

No matter what you do

Now listen closely baby

I’ll try to change my ways

Don’t go kickin' up trumped up troubles

Worry all my days

Mercy mercy mercy baby

Good God mercy be all around

Yes you know I’ll be right there
