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