Letra Lucille Dean Reed

Lucille

In a bar in Toledo across from the depoton 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 sai I'm noquitter but I finally quit livin' on dreamsI'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'mafter what-ever 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 mehe had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused he looked like amountain for a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking his big heart was breakinghe turned to the woman and said
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucillewith four hungry children and crops in the fieldI've had some bad times lived through some sad times butthis 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 roomwe walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to meshe must have thought I'd lost my mind
I could'nt hold her, the words that he toldher kept coming back time after time
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucillewith four hungry children and a crop in the fieldI've had some bad times lived through some sad times butthis time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.
