Lucille

歌詞

In a bar in Toledo across the depot On a barstool she took off her ring I thought I'd get closer So I walked on over I sat down and ask her name When the drink finally hit her She said I'm no quitter But I finally quit living on drinks I'm hungry for laughter And here ever after In the mirror I saw him I closely watch him I thought how he looked out of place He came to the woman Sat down beside me He had a strange look on his face The big hands are callous He looked like a mountain From a minute I thought I was dead But he started shaking But his big heart was breaking You picked the fine time to leave me, Lucille Four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some bad time Live thru' some sad times But this time the hurting won't heal You pick the fine time to leave me, Lucille After he left her I ordered some whisky I thought how she made him look small From thee lights of the barroom To rented hotel room We walked without talking at all She was a beauty But when she came to me She must have thought I lose my mind I couldn't hold her The words that he told her The words that he told her Kept coming back time after time
