Lyrics
So sorry to leave you now, baby
Darling, but I just gotta say goodbye
So sorry to leave you now
Darling, but I just gotta say goodbye
Oh, have mercy, woman
Well, you know I don't wanna see you worry
Ooh, well, well, I don't wanna see you cry
You know, mama says, "Son
Best of friends has got to part
Oh, you know, mama says, "Son
You know, best of friends has got to part
Yeah, you know some may be crying and putting on
And it may hurt someone deep down in their heart
Whoa, looks like the world just turned around on me
Don't no one seem to care
Oh, it seems like the world has turned around on me
And right now no one seems to care
Whoa, you know I keep on thinking about my baby
Lord, have mercy
That little girl, so far away from here
You know if I had wings like an angel
Tell you where I would fly
Whoa, if I had wings like an angel
I would tell you where I would fly
Whoa, fly to the heart of Antoinette
That's where poor Lightnin' would give up to die (whoa)
Lord, have mercy
Lord again
Have mercy
Have mercy
Mmm, that's where I would give up to die
