677. Lucille (Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum)

The story goes that this song was inspired by Hal Bynum's determination to resist temptation toward the end of his failing marriage, when he was being pursued by a friend of his wife. He was in his yard tying up tomato plants and worrying that he was going to be left alone in Nashville with this predatory female as his wife and children were about to visit his mother-in-law in New Jersey. He was thinking, "You picked a fine time to leave me," and added "Lucille" to the line to give it some alliteration. Looking around the garden, he added the next line - "With four hungry children and a crop in the field." He worked further on the song with Roger Bowling, and it became a big hit for Kenny Rogers in 1977. Lyrics and chords: C In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot, .................................................. G7 On a barstool she took off her ring. ..... Dm ................ G7 I thought I'd get closer ... Dm .............. G7 So I walked on over. .. Dm .............. G7 .................... C ... G7 I sat down and asked her her name. .................. C When the drinks finally hit her, She said,” I’m no quitter, ....... C7 .............................. F But I finally quit living on dreams. ....... G7 I'm hungry for laughter, And here ever after ....................................................... C I'm after whatever the other life brings." In the mirror I saw him, and I closely watched him. ...................................................... G7 I thought how he looked out of place. ...... Dm ............... G7 He came to the woman ........ Dm .............. G7 Who sat there beside me. ...... Dm ................ G7............. C ... G7 He had a strange look on his face. ........

C He turned to the woman and said, NC ........................................................... F "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille ........................................................................ C With four hungry children and a crop in the field. F I've had some bad times, I've lived through some sad times, .................................................. C But this time the hurtin' won't heal. ...................... G7 ................................... C You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille. After he left us, I ordered more whiskey. ...............................................................

G7.......... C .. G7 We walked without talking at all. C She was a beauty, But when she came to me ......... C7 ............................................ F She must have thought I'd lost my mind.
