Lucille

Lucille - Various Artists/Nat Stuckey

In a bar in toledo

Across from the depot

On a bar stool she

Took off her ring

I thought I'd get closer

So I walked on over

I sat down and asked her name

When the drinks finally hit her

She said I'm no quitter

But I finally quit livin' on dreams

I'm hungry for laughter

And here ever after

I'm after whatever the

Other life brings

In the mirror I saw him

And I closely watched him

I thought how he

Looked out of place

He came to the woman

Who sat there beside her

He had a strange look on his face

The big hands were calloused

He looked like a mountain

For a minute I thought

I was dead

But he started shakin'

His big heart was breakin'

He turned to the woman and said

You picked a fine time

To leave me lucille

With four hungry children

And a crop in the field

I've had some bad times

Lived through some sad 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 whisky

I thought how she'd

Made him look small

From the lights of the bar room

To a rented hotel room

We walked without talkin' at all

She was a beauty

But when she came to me

She must have thought

I'd lost my mind

I could'nt hold her

'Cos the words that he told her

Kept coming back time after time

You picked a fine time

To leave me lucille

With four hungry children

And a crop in the field

I've had some bad times

Lived through some sad times

But this time your hurtin' won't heal

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

You picked a fine time

To leave me lucille

Four hungry children

And a crop in the field

I've had some bad times

Lived through some sad times

But this time your hurtin' won't heal
