Cannonball Adderley

[Intro] You know, sometimes we're not prepared for adversity When it happens, sometimes we're caught short We don't know exactly how to handle it when it comes up Sometimes we don't know Just what to do when adversity takes over, heh heh And I have advice for all of us I got it from my pianist, Joe Zawinul, who wrote this tune And it sounds like what you're supposed to say When you have that kind of problem It's called "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" [Instrumental] [Outro] "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" Mercy Thank you
