Lucille Songtext
von Daniel O’Donnell

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 her name

When the drinks finally hit her
She said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit livin′ 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 watched him
I thought how he looked out of place

He came to the woman
Who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face


The big hands were calloused
He looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead

But he started shakin′
His big heart was breakin′
He turned to the woman and said

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad 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
I thought how she′d made him look small

From the lights of the barroom
To a rented hotel room
We walked without talkin' at all

She was a beauty
But when she came to me
She must have thought I′d lost my mind


I couldn't hold her
'Cause the words that he told her
Kept comin′ back time after time

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I′ve had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
But this time your hurtin' won′t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
