Lucille
C C7 C G
In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot, on a barstand she took off her ring.
G7 C
I thought I´d get closer, so I walked on over, sat down and asked her her name.
When the drinks finally hit her, she said: „I´m no quitter,
C7 F
but I finally quit livin´ on dreams;
C
hungry for laughter I´m here ever after,
G C
I´m after whatever the other life brings.“
C7 C G
In the mirror I saw him, I closely watched him, I saw the look in his eyes.
G7 C
He came to the woman who sat there beside me and slowly he started to cry.
F
His big hands were callous, he looked like a mountain,
C7 F
for a minute I thought I was dead
C
- but he started shakin´, his big heart was breaking
G G7 C
as he turned to that woman and said:
F
„You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille,
C
with four hungry children and the crops in the fields.
I´ve had some sad times, lived through some bad times,
C
but this time the hurtin´ won´t heal -
G G7 C
you picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.“
