I have a live recording of Cannonball Adderley doing it("The Capitol Years...The Best of Cannonball Aderley--recorded in the 60's) and Joe Zawinul is his piano player.

At the intro, Cannonball says words to this effect, "Sometimes we're not prepared for adversity that comes into our lives...we just don't know what to do...and I got this idea from my piano player, Joe Zawinul, who wrote this song, that at those times about all you can do is say, Mercy...Mercy...Mercy..."

I think that would be as close as possible to what this song is about. And a very mellow soulful live performance. It doesn't need any lyrics!
