Lonesome is the whip-poor-will
Never seen one but I feel
Time is like a Ritalin pill
Goes too fast and makes you ill
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Love is like the mockingbird
Singing all the things he's heard
Sweet into his lover's ear
This time for sure, promise you, dear
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Shameful is the cardinal
His colors make him fallible
While we made through the window side
He's captured the coyote's eye
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
