Sweet Lucy lyrics

[Verse 1]
When we left, it was cold
Each other's hands we had to hold
We was drunk in Tennessee
She got drunk, as drunk as me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
She run up the hill, she cried and cried
I run down the other side

[Chorus]
Ooh, Sweet Lucy
Ooh, Sweet Lucy
Ooh, Sweet Lucy, let me go

[Verse 2]
Police come, they took my wine
They put us in jail, hundred-dollar fine
I could hear her cryin' over the wall
In the women's detention hall

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I got on the phone, my mama spoke
"Sorry, son, but your mama's broke"

[Chorus]
Ooh, Sweet Lucy
Ooh, Sweet Lucy
Ooh, Sweet Lucy, let me go
[Verse 3]
Wherever I go I get sad
Seems like sorrow lives in the air
In the wide-open skies of California
They have sorrow way out there

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Five gets you ten that you don't get past
Five gets you ten that you better go fast

[Chorus]
Ooh, Sweet Lucy
Ooh, Sweet Lucy
Ooh, Sweet Lucy, let me go!

[Verse 4]
Oh, Harry Hubcaps and Jack the Fluke
They bought a bottle for Luke
They was buddies but they had a fight
They broke the jukebox, they broke the light

[Pre-Chorus 4]
Big ol' Fluke weigh three-hundred pounds
Fell on Harry when Harry fell down

[Chorus 4]
Ooh, Sweet Lucy
Ooh, Sweet Lucy
Ooh, Sweet Lucy, let me go
[Verse 5]
My old lady says, "Gimme that wine"
I said, "Honey, quit drinking sometime"
She said, "Snock, it's not my fault
Had to eat my porkchop without no salt"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
She run up the hill, she cried and cried
I run down the other side

[Chorus]
Ooh, Sweet Lucy
Ooh, Sweet Lucy
Ooh, Sweet Lucy, let me go

[Chorus]
Ooh, Sweet Lucy
Ooh, Sweet Lucy
Ooh, Sweet Lucy, let me go
