Mercy

See, I was on the east coast
Attending the wedding of some friends I have
I saw a woman and a man
Become a husband and a wife
Under a beautiful tree
Bird flew down and landed on my head
I felt best and special, but that bird done flow off with a feather

MERCY! MERCY!
MERCY! MERCY!
MERCY! MERCY!
MERCY! MERCY!

I may be able to see that feather again
Well, I needed a change of scenery so I headed back west
I put holes in my shoes, I had dirt on my clothes
I looked like I am robbin' a bank machine
Things started lookin' up when I made it to Rivière-du-Loup
One of the pom-pom girls from the Alouettes offered to drive me home

MERCY! MERCY!
MERCY! MERCY!
MERCY! MERCY!
MERCY! MERCY!
M-E-R-C-Y
M-E-R-C-Y
M-E-R-C-Y
M-E-R-C-Y
MERCY! (mercy...)
MERCY! (mercy...)
MERCY! (mercy...)
MERCY! (mercy...)

Ooo, I really needed that drive
When Mary Lou dropped me off
I was feeling bent out of shape
She had reminded me
That almost anything can happen
Cause if I did not choose this life
Then it must've chosen me
I don't know which is worse
I guess we're just gonna have to wait and see
