The White Sea (Russian: Бе́лое мо́ре) is a southern inlet of the Barents Sea located on the northwest coast of Russia. It is surrounded by Karelia to the west, the Kola Peninsula to the north, and the Kanin Peninsula to the northeast. The whole of the White Sea is under Russian sovereignty and considered to be part of the internal waters of Russia. Administratively, it is divided between Arkhangelsk and Murmansk Oblasts and the Republic of Karelia.
The major port of Arkhangelsk is located on the White Sea. For much of Russia's history this was Russia's main centre of international maritime trade, conducted by the so-called Pomors ("seaside settlers") from Kholmogory. In the modern era it became an important Soviet naval and submarine base. The White Sea-Baltic Canal connects the White Sea with the Baltic Sea.
The White Sea is one of four seas named in English after common colour terms — the others being the Black Sea, the Red Sea and the Yellow Sea.
The International Hydrographic Organization defines the northern limit of the White Sea as "A line joining Svyatoi Nos (Murmansk Coast, 39°47'E) and Cape Kanin".
Well, I was standing in line at the city bus stop
Soaked to the skin from every rain drop
I see you driving by just like a Phantom Jet
With your arm around some little Brunette
You say you won't be home because you're working late
Honey, I'm no fool, you've been out on a date
The lipstick on your collar gives your game away
It's strawberry red and mine's pink roses
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Well, I called you up on the telephone
I could hear you was playin' 'Haggard and Jones'
I knew right then that there was something wrong
There's only one reason you play cheatin' songs
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Well, I went up to the bank with my little check book
The cashier he gave me the strangest look
He said you ain't got no money 'cause you're over drawn
Your man took it all and he's a done gone
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, honey, can't you see
