| The sound that you're listenin' to | |
| Is from my guitar that's named Lucille | |
| I'm very crazy about Lucille | |
| Lucille took me from the plantation | |
| Or 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 | |
| Tryin' to help me callin' my name | |
| I used to sing spirituals and 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, started singin' blues | |
| Well, now when I'm payin' my dues | |
| Maybe you don't know what I mean when I say payin' my dues | |
| I mean when things are bad with me | |
| I can always, I can always you, 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 think about the things that I've gone through | |
| Like, well, for instance, if I have a girlfriend and she's misusin' me | |
| And I go home at night, 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 it where I can't even say nothin' | |
| Look out | |
| Sometimes I think it is 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 | |
| 'Cause 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, little Ray Charles | |
| In fact all the people with soul in this | |
| A little Mahalia Jackson in there | |
| One more Lucille, take it easy now | |
| You know, I've met a lot of you months ago | |
| A lot 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 turnin' 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 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 happened and one night, the guys started a ball over there | |
| You know started brawlin', you know what I mean | |
| And the guy that was mad with this old lady | |
| When she fell over on this gas tank that was burnin' 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 | |
| Tryin' to save Lucille | |
| Uh, oh, I, 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 to me, can I do one more? | |
| Look out, Lucille | |
| Sounds really good, I think I'll try one more, alright |
