Time = 3/4

     |        |       |             |
In a bar in To-ledo ac-ross from the depot on a
|             |            |    |
bar stool she took off her ring
  |             |         |
I thought i'd get closer so I walked on over I
|          |       |      |
sat down and asked her name
|        |              |           |
When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no
|             |            |      |      |
quitter but I finally quit livin on dreams
    |        |            |         |
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm
|          |        |          |
after what-ever 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 woman who sat there be-side 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 shaking his big heart was
|           |             |         |
breaking he turned to the woman and said

|           |            |           |
You picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille
     |           |              |           |     |
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 Lu-cille.

|       |         |          |         |
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 ho-tel 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
|        |                 |          |
I could'nt hold her 'cos the words that told her kept
|           |          |
coming back time after time

|           |            |           |
You picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille
     |           |              |           |     |
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 Lu-cille.
