Lucille
Kenny Rogers
In a Bbar in Toledo across from the depot on a
bar stool she took off her F7ring
I Cmthought I'd get closer so F7I walked on over,
I Cmsat down and F7asked her Bname
When the drinks Bfinally hit her she said I'm no
quitter but I finally quit B7livin' on Ebdreams
I'm F7hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm
after whatever the other life Bbrings
BIn the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of F7place
He Cmcame to the woman who F7sat there beside me,
he Cmhad a strange F7look on his Bface
BThe big hands were calloused, he looked like a
mountain, for a minute I B7thought I was Ebdead
But he F7started shaking, his big heart was
breaking, he turned to the woman and Bsaid
BYou picked a fine time to leave me LucEbille
with four hungry children and a crop in the Bfield
IEb've had some bad times, lived through some sad times, but
this time your hurting won't Bheal
You picked a F7fine time to leave me BLucille
CAfter he left us I ordered more whisky, I thought how she'd
made him look G7small
From the Dmlights of the bar room to a G7rented hotel room,
we Dmwalked without G7talking at Call
She was a beauty but when she came to me
she must have thought C7I'd lost my Fmind
I G7couldn't hold her 'cos the words that he told her kept
coming back time after Ctime
CYou picked a fine time to leave me LucFille
with four hungry children and a crop in the Cfield
IF've had some bad times, lived through some sad times, but
this time your hurting won't Cheal
You picked a finG7e time to leave me LucillCe
