Lucille
- In a bar in Toledo
- across from the depot
- on a bar stool
- she took of her ring.
- I thought i´d get closer
- so i walked down over
- and 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 laught´er
- and here ever after
- I´m after whatever
- the other life brings.
- In a mirror i saw him
- and i closely watched him
- i thought how he look
- out of place.
- He came to the woman
- and sat there beside me
- he had a strange look
- on his face.
- The big hand was 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 trough some sad times
- but this time your hurting
- won´t heal.
- You picked a fine time
- to leave me,Lucille.
- After he left us
- i ordered more whisky
- i thought how she´d
- made him look small.
- From the lights of the bar room
- to a rented hotel room
- we walked without
- talking at all.
- She was a beauty
- when she came to me
- she must have thought
- i´d lost my mind
- I couldn´t hold her
- cause the worlds that
- he told her.
- Kept comming back
- time after time.
- You picked a fine time
- to leave me,Lucille.
- With four hungry children
- and crop in the field.
- I´ve had some bad times
- lived trough some sad times
- but this time your hurting
- won´t heal.
- You picked a fine time
- to leave me Lucille.
- You picked a fine time

Lucie
- V baru v Toledu
- naproti skladišti
- na barové židličce
- sundala si prsten.
- Myslel jsem si, že půjdu blíž
- tak jsem sešel dolů
- posadil se a zeptal se
- jak se jmenuje.
- Když už byla přiopilá
- řekla, že nejsem nula
- ale já najednou přestal žít ve snech
- a toužil jen potom jí rozesmát,
- A odsud až navždy
- ať cokoliv
- přinese další život.
- Uviděl jsem ho v zrcadle,
- a prohlídnul jsem si ho zblízka.
- A pomyslel jsem si,
- jak jsem nezapadá
- On přišel k té ženě
- a sedl si tam vedle mne
- a v obličeji měl
- zvláštní výraz.
- Velké ruce byly mozolnaté,
- vypadal jako hora.
- A na minutu jsem si myslel
- že jsem mrtvý.
- Ale on se začal třást
- jeho velké srdce se lámalo
- otočil se k té ženě
- a řekl:
- Vybrala jsi ten správný čas
- opustit mě
- se čtyřmi hladovými dětmi
- a úrodou na poli.
- Měl sem špatné časy
- žil během dobrých časů.
- Ale tentokrát se
- zranění od Tebe nezahojí.
- Vybrala jsi si správný čas
- opustit mě .Lucie
- Potom, co nás opustil
- jsem objednal ještě whisky
- a myslel sem si
- jak ho udělala malinkým.
- Za světel baru
- do pronajaté hotelové místnosti
- jsme šli
- a vůbec jsme nemluvili.
- Byla krásná,
- když ke mě přišla
- a musela si myslet
- že jsem ztratil rozum.
- Nemohl jsem jí držet,
- protože ty slova
- co jí on řekl
- se stále vracela
- a pořád dokola.
- Vybrala jsi ten správný čas
- opustit mě
- se čtyřmi hladovými dětmi
- a úrodou na poli.
- Měl sem špatné časy
- žil během dobrých časů.
- Ale tentokrát se
- zranění od Tebe nezahojí.
- Vybrala sis správný čas
- opustit mě. Lucie
- Vybrala sis ten správný čas
- opustit mě
- se čtyřmi hladovými dětmi
- a úrodou na poli.
- Měl jsem špatné časy
- žil během....
Lucille's Answer by Elzé Rose
On A Bar Stool In Toledo
Across From The Depo
I Took Off My Gold Wedding Ring
From The Booth In The Corner
A Man Came On Over
He Sat Down And Asked Me My Name
At First I Was Nervous
The Bartender Served Us
The Drinks Made Us Talk Like Old Friends
I Said I Was Married
To A Man Who Stopped Caring
For The Love, And The Needs
Of The Woman I Am
I Noticed Him Watching
Someone In The Mirror
In A Moment My Husband Was There
He Stood Like A Mountain
My Poor Heart Was Pounding
My Body Was Trembling' With Fear
His Look Was Uncertain
I Felt The Hurting
For A Minute I Wished I Was Dead
If I Knew Forever
I Know I Will Never
Forget How I Crumbled For The Words That He Said
You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me Lucille
His Words Haunt My Memory And I Guess Always Will
He Must Have Gone Crazy
We Never Had Babies
And He Never Worked A Day In The Field
You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Him Lucille
He Walked Out And Left Me
Alone With The Stranger
He Cursed Me As He Slammed The Door
He Thought I Would Follow
But Words Hard To Swallow
When Your Pride Has Been Walked On Before
So I Went With The Stranger
To A Rented Hotel Room
Cause Something Inside Me Had Died
I Hope When You Judge Me
You'll Treat Me Fairly
At least Now You All Know Both Sides
You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me Lucille
His Words Haunt My Memory And I Guess Always Will
He Must Have Gone Crazy
We Never Had Babies
And He Never Worked A Day In The Field
You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Him Lucille
You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me Lucille
His Words Haunt My Memory And I Guess Always Will
He Must Have Gone Crazy
We Never Had Babies
And He Never Worked A Day In The Field
You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Him Lucille
You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Him Lucille
