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
