Aaaaah, haaa
I know a place
Ain't nobody cryin'
Ain't nobody worried
Ain't no smilin' faces
Mmm-mmm, no, no
Lyin' to the races
Help me, come on, come on
Somebody, help me, now
(I'll take you there)
Help me, y'all
(I'll take you there)
Help me now
(I'll take you there)
Oh, mmm-mmm (I'll take you there)
Oh, oh, mercy
(I'll take you there)
Oh, let me take you there
(I'll take you there)

Oh-oh-hoooo, let me take you there
(I'll take you there)

Play it Mary, play your
Play your piano now
All right
Aaaaaah, do it, do it
Come on now
Play on it, play on it
Big Daddy, now
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy
Play your, ummmmm

Ooh, Lord
All right now
Baby, little lady, easy now
Help me now
Come on, little lady
All right
Dum-dum-dum-dum
Doin' sockin' soul

Aaaaaaah, oooh, aaaaah
I know a place, y'all
(I'll take you there)
Ain't nobody cryin' there
(I'll take you there)
Ain't nobody worried, y'all
(I'll take you there)
No smilin' faces
(I'll take you there)
Uh-uh

(I'll take you there)
Oh, oh, no
Oh

Oh, oh,

Mercy now

I'm callin' callin' callin' for mercy
(I'll take you there)
Mercy, mercy

You gotta, gotta, gotta let me
Let me take you, take you
Take you over there
