lyrics for mercury blues - original version
 

Music & Lyrics: K.C. Douglas, Robert L. Geddin

Well if I had the money I'll tell you what I'd do,
I'd go down town and buy a Mercury or two
I'm crazy about a Mercury, crazy 'bout a Mercury.
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury 'n go crusin' up and down the road.

Well the sheep I love are stolen from a friend,
he got lucky and stole it back again

I'm crazy about a Mercury, crazy 'bout a Mercury.
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury 'n go crusin' up and down the road.

Well my baby went out she didn't stay long,
she bought herself a Mercury and started crusin' home.

Well I'm crazy about a Mercury, I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury.
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury 'n go crusin' up and down the road.

Well hey there mama, you're looking so fine
riding around in a Mercury '49

Well I'm crazy about a Mercury, Well I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury.
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury 'n go crusin' up and down the road.


[Guitar solo]
Well if I had the money I'll tell you what I'd do,
go down town and buy a Mercury or two

Well I'm crazy about a Mercury, Well I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury.
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury 'n go crusin' up and down the road.

Buy me a Mercury 'n go crusin' up and down the road.

Buy me a Mercury 'n go crusin' up and down the road.
