Lucille

歌詞

One two three four In a barroom in Toledo, across from 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 asked her, her name When the drinks finally hit her, she said, "I'm no quitter" But I finally quit livin' on dreams Hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm after whatever the other life brings In the mirror, I saw him, I closely watched him I saw the look in his eyes He came to the woman who sat there beside me And slowly started to cry His big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain For a minute, I thought I was dead But he started shaking his big heart was breaking As he turned to the woman and said You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille With a four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times But this time your hurtin' won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille After he left us, I ordered more whiskey She said, "Let's go have a ball" From the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room We walked without talkin' at all Lord, she was a beauty but when she came to me She must've thought that I'd lost my mind I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her Came back to me time after time You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille With a four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times But this time your hurtin' won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
