LUCILLE
Kenny Rogers
42 Ultimate Hits CD1 Track #7
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 drink finally hit her, she said I’m no quitter
But I finally 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 I closely watch him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the womanWho sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands are 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 the fine time to leave me, Lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
I’ve had some bad time, Live thru’ some sad times
But this time your hurtin wouldn’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille."
After he left us, I ordered more whiskey
I thought how she made him look small
From 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 lost my mind
I couldn’t hold her, the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time.
"You picked the fine time to leave me, Lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
I’ve had some bad time, Live thru’ some sad times
But this time your hurtin' wouldn’t heal.
You picked the fine time to leave me, Lucille
You picked the fine time to leave me, Lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
I’ve had some bad time, Live thru’ some sad times
But this time your hurtin wouldn’t heal.
You picked the fine time to leave me, Lucille"
