Soul Meeting Lyrics
Is Osmond here? (Yeah)
Is Joe here? (Yep, yep)
Where’s Solomon? (Right here)
I see Don comin’ in now, man (Come on in the door, Don)
And here come Bennie with him (Bennie, Bennie King, come on, yeah)
Hey man, Joe packin’ up his bags, man
Where you goin’, Joe? (I’m goin’ back to Baton Rouge, man)
I thought you had a good thing goin’ on
I got nothin’ goin’ on up here in New York, man, listen, huh
‘Cause the rent up here, much too high
And I’m just sad of makin’ enough money tryin’ to get by, listen
I can’t see, huh, payin’ all of my rent
For a room that’s got a room and a bed
Listen, leave me alone ’cause I’m beat, y’all
I know down in Baton Rouge, uh, I can sleep at ease, ow
Bennie King, what you doin’?
Look here man, I’d like to go, but let me tell you one thing
Listen Joe, I’d like to go
I got a sweet little girl that lives next door
You know we, we made a date
I can’t hardly go down south and make a mace
I’ve been to Louisiana, I’ve been to Jacksonville
But I finally found a darlin’ to make me say I will
Come here, Don
Y’all remember, huh, when I made that song called “Mercy”
My woman had her baggage packed up under the bed
I looked around, I said now, “Baby, don’t leave me
If you do, baby, I know I’m dead”
That’s why I’m tellin’ you, Joe
Last time I went south, came back home empty-handed
Then I cried mercy, mercy, mercy, ow, mercy, ow
I’m sorry, thanks y’all
Listen everybody, I want you guys to
Clap your hands one time, listen to this
Nobody gonna make me stay at home
Honey, don’t you worry, red and white
Beeper, telephone steady goin’ home
I’m gonna sing my soul songs, sell love potions, ha
Honey, from Mississippi River to the land of Goshen, ha
And don’t you know, if they don’t like that, ha
I’m just gonna sit on my throne and
Steady get over, get over, get over
Like a big fat rat now, huh huh
That sweet soul woman, she’s alright, huh huh
That sweet soul woman got what I like, man
She’s alright, so doggone sweet
I’m gonna stay right here and let my real love shine
What can I do, huh huh, what can I say
When you got a woman lovin’ you and pleasin’ you this way, oh
Huh, mercy, mercy, mercy
