Lucille lyrics

Artist  : B.b. King 
Song : Lucille



 Send "Lucille" Ringtone to your Cell 

 The sound that you're listenin' to

Is from my guitar that's named Lucille

I'm very crazy about Lucille

Lucille took me from the plantation

Or you might say brought me fame



I don't think I can just talk enough about
Lucille

Sometimes when I'm blue it's seems like
Lucille

Tryin' to help me callin' my name



I used to sing spirituals and I thought that

This was the thing I wanted to do

But somehow or another, when I went in the
Army

I picked up on Lucille, started singin' blues



Well, now when I'm payin' my dues

Maybe you don't know what I mean when I say
payin' my dues

I mean when things are bad with me

I can always, I can always you, you know, like
depend on Lucille



Sorta hard to talk to you myself

I guess, I'll let Lucille say

All of a few words and then



You know, I doubt if you can feel it like I do

But when I think about the things that I've gone
through

Like, well, for instance, if I have a girlfriend
and she's misusin' me

And I go home at night, maybe I'm lonely

Well, not maybe, I am lonely



I pick up Lucille and then ping out those funny
sounds

That sound good to me, you know

Sometimes I get to play it where I can't even say
nothin'

Look out

Sometimes I think it is cryin'



You know if I can sing pop tunes like

Frank Sinatra or Sammy Davis Jr.

I don't think I still could do it

'Cause Lucille don't wanna play nothin' but the
blues

And I think I'm, I think I'm pretty glad about
that

'Cause don't nobody sing to me like Lucille, sing
Lucille



Well, I'll put it like this, take it easy,
Lucille

I like the way Sammy sings and I like the way
Frank sings

But I can get a little Frank, Sammy, little Ray
Charles

In fact all the people with soul in this



A little Mahalia Jackson in there

One more Lucille, take it easy now



You know, I've met a lot of you months ago

A lot of you wanna know why I call the guitar,
Lucille

Lucille has practically saved my life two, three
times

No kidding, really has



I remember once I was in an automobile
accident

And when the car stopped turnin' over, it fell
over on Lucille

And it held it up off of me, really, it held it
up off of me

So that's one time it saved my life



The way, the way, I, uh, I came by the name of
Lucille

I was over in Twist, Arkansas, I know you never
heard of that

But happened and one night, the guys started a
ball over there

You know started brawlin', you know what I
mean



And the guy that was mad with this old lady

When she fell over on this gas tank that was
burnin' for heat

The gas ran all over the floor and when the gas
ran all over the floor

The building caught on fire and almost burned me
up

Tryin' to save Lucille



Uh, oh, I, I imagine you're still wondering why I
call it Lucille

The lady that started the brawl that night was
named Lucille

And that's been Lucille ever since to me



One more now, Lucille

Sounds pretty good to me, can I do one more?

Look out, Lucille

Sounds really good, I think I'll try one more,
alright
