In a bar in Toledo, Across from the depot, On 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 her name When the drinks 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 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 shaking, His big heart was breaking, 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 heald, 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 lighs of the barromm To e rented hotel room, We walked without talking 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 coming 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 heald, You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille |
