Lucille Song Lyrics
In a bar 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 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 me
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 shaking, his big heart was breaking
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 hurting won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille”
*****
After he left us, I ordered more whiskey
I thought how she’d made him look small
From the lights of the barroom
To a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
She must have thought I’d lost my mind
I couldn’t hold her ’cause 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 hurting won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille…
*****
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 hurting won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille”
Lucille Song Chords
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 me,
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 shaking, his big heart was
breaking, 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 hurting 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 talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
she must have thought I’d lost my mind
I couldn’t 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 hurting won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
