A glad hog doggin' a bone
Knuckle bone and a head of stone
Try to get away from a two-dollar cop
But wantin' ain't gettin' and gettin' ain't got
And I'm gone
Have mercy, baby
A runaway mule, pig in a poke
TV screen and a bullfrog croak
Tryin' to find a way to get a bottle of pop
But wantin' ain't gettin' and gettin' ain't got
And I'm gone
Have mercy, baby
Horse's ear, hoot and a holler
Midriff bulge and a righteous squalor
Tryin' to find a place where nothing's hot
But wantin' ain't gettin' and gettin' ain't got
And I'm gone (Gone, gone, gone)
Have mercy, baby
The cocks crow, hole in the wall
Man sayin' God is a cannonball
Wanna find out so my head won't rot
But wantin' ain't gettin' and gettin' ain't got
And I'm gone (Gone, gone, gone)
Have mercy, baby
Wantin' ain't gettin' and gettin' ain't got
And I'm gone (Gone, gone, gone)
Have mercy, baby
But wantin' ain't gettin' and I still ain't got
And I'm gone (Gone, gone, gone)
Have mercy, baby
Grabbin' ain't gettin' and gettin' ain't got
And I'm gone (Gone, gone, gone)
Have mercy, baby
