The sound that you're listening to is from my guitar that's named "Lucille" |
|
I'm very crazy about Lucille |
|
Lucille took me from the planatation |
|
Oh and you might say brought me fame |
|
I don't think I can just talk enough about Lucille |
|
sometimes when I'm blue it's seems like Lucille trying to help me, calling my name |
|
I used to sing spirituals when I thought that this was the thing i wanted to do |
|
But somehow or another, when I went in the Army |
|
I picked up on Lucille and started sing the blues |
|
Well, now when I'm paying my dues |
|
Maybe you don't know what I mean when I say paying my dues |
|
I mean when things are bad with me |
|
I can always, I can always you know, like, depend on Lucille |
|
|
|
Sorta hard to talk to you myself |
|
I guess I'll let Lucille say all of a few words and then... |
|
|
|
You know, I doubt if you can feel it like I do |
|
But when I things about the things that I've gone through, |
|
Like, well, for instance, if I have a girlfriend and she's misusing me |
|
And I go home at night, and maybe I'm lonely, well, not maybe, I am lonely, |
|
I pick up Lucille and then ping out those funny sounds that sound good to me, you know |
|
Sometimes I get to play where I can't even say nothin' |
|
Lookout |
|
|
|
Sometimes I think it's cryin' |
|
|
|
You know if I can sing pop tunes like Frank Sinatra or Sammy Davis Jr. |
|
I don't think I still could do it |
|
Because Lucille don't wanna play nothin but the blues |
|
And I think I'm, I think I'm pretty glad about that |
|
'Cause don't nobody sing to me like Lucille |
|
Sing Lucille |
|
|
|
Well, I'll put it like this |
|
Take it easy, Lucille |
|
I like the way Sammy sings and I like the way Frank sings |
|
But I can get a little Frank, Sammy, a little Ray Charles, |
|
In fact all the people with soul in this... |
|
|
|
A little Mahalia Jackson in there |
|
|
|
One more Lucille |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know I gotten a lot of you months ago |
|
Alot of you wanna know why I call the guitar "Lucille" |
|
Lucille has practically saved my life two, three times |
|
No kidding, really has |
|
I remember once I was in an automobile accident |
|
And when the car stopped turning over, it fell over on Lucille |
|
And it held it up off of me, really, it held it up off of me |
|
So that's one time it's saved my life |
|
|
|
The way, the way, I, uh, I came by the name of Lucille |
|
I was over in Twist, Arkansas |
|
I know you never heard of that, but it happened |
|
And one night, the guys started a ball over there, started brawling, you know what I mean |
|
And the guy that was mad with this old lady |
|
When she fell over this gas tank that was burning for heat, the gas ran all over the floor |
|
And when the gas ran all over the floor |
|
The building caught on fire and almost burned me up trying to save Lucille |
|
Uh, oh, I imagine you're still wondering why I call it "Lucille" |
|
The lady that started the brawl that night was named Lucille |
|
And that's been Lucille ever since to me |
|
|
|
One more now Lucille |
|
|
|
Sounds pretty good |
|
Can I do one more? |
|
|
|
I got Lucille |
|
|
|
Sounds really good |
|
I think I'll try one more |
|
All right |
