Lucille
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 the name When the drinks fin’lly hit her, she said „I‘m no quitter, but fin’lly quit living 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 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 hand were callused, he looked like a mountain, for a minute I thought I was dead Be he started shakin‘, his big heart was breakin‘, he turned to the woman and said:
CHORUS You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille, With four hungry children and a crop in the field I 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, he 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 couldn’t hold her, ґcause the words that he told her kept coming back time after time
