Waylon Jennings Lucille Lyrics

One two three four
In a barroom 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 her
name
When the drinks fin'lly hit her she said I'm
no quitter
But I finally quit livin' on
dreams
Hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm
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 and said
You picked a fine time to leave me
Lucille
With a four hungry children and a crop in the
field
I've 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'd lost my mind
I
couldn't hold her cause the words that he told her came
back to me time after time
You picked a fine time...
