Mercury Blues (Alternate Version) Lyrics

Had my money I'd tell you
What I'd do
I would go down town
And buy a Mercury or two

'Cause I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
I'm going to buy me a Mercury now and
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road

The gal I love I stole her from a friend
Fool got lucky stole her back again
Became she knowed he had a Mercury
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road

'Cause she knowed he had a Mercury
And he cruised up and down this road
Hey now mama where'd you stay last night
Your hair's all down your clothes don't fit you right

Had my money I'd tell you what I'd do
Go down town and buy a Mercury or two
Cos I'm crazy 'Bout a Mercury and I will
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
Ah, ah ah
Ah, ah ah ah

I'm going to buy me a Mercury and
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road

I'm going to buy me a Mercury
Going to buy me a Mercury
Going to buy me a Mercury
Cruise, cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road

I'm going to buy me a Mercury
Buy me a Mercury
Going to buy me a Mercury
Cruise cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
