In a bar in toledo Across from the depot On a barstool she took off her ring I thought i'd get closer So I walked on over I sat down and asked her the name When the drinks fin'lly hit her She said I'm no quitter But I fin'lly 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 women 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 shakin' His big heart was breakin' 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 hurting won't heal 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 lights of the bar room To a 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 'Cause I couldn't hold her 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 hurting won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
