Waylon Jennings - Lucille lyrics

Album: Ol´ Waylon <RCA Victor> (1977)

(Roger Bowling - Hal Bynum)

One, two, three, four,

In a barroom in Toledo across from the depot
On a barstool she took off her ring
I thought I would get closer so I walked on over
I sat down & asked her, her name.

When the drinks fin´lly hit her she said I am no quitter
But I finally quit livin´ on dreams
Hungry for laughter & here ever after
I am 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 & said.

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With a four hungry children & a crop in the field
I have 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 would lost my mind
I could not 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 & a crop in the field
I have 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.
