My Lucille Lyrics - B.b. King

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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
