Lucille Lyrics - Lucille - B.b. King

The sound that you're listening to is from my guitar 

that's named Lucille. I'm very crazy about Lucille. 

Lucille took me from the plantation. Oh you might say, 

brought me fame. 

I don't think I could just talk enough about Lucille. 

Sometime when I'm blue seem like Lucille try to help 

me call my name. 

I used to sing spirituals and I thought that this was 

the thing that I wanted to do. But somehow or other 

when I went in the army I picked up on Lucille, and 

started singing blues. 

Well, now when I'm paying my dues, maybe you don't 

know what I mean when I say paying dues, I mean when 

things are bad with me. I can always, I can always, 

you know like, depend on Lucille.

Sort of hard to talk to you myself. I guess I'll let 

Lucille say 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 misuses me, and I go home at night, maybe I'm 

lonely, well not maybe, I am lonely, I pick up Lucille 

and it bring out those funny sounds that sound good to 

me, you know. Sometime I get to the place where I 

can't even say nothing. 

Look out. 

Sometime I think it's crying. 

You know, if I could sing pop tunes like Frank Sinatra 

or Sammy Davis Junior, I don't think I still could do 

it, 'cause Lucille don't wanna play nothing but the 

blues. 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, a 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 imagine a lot of you wanna know, a lot of 

you wanna know why I call the guitar Lucille. Lucille 

has practically saved my life two or three times. No 

kidding, it really has. 

I remember once I was in an automobile accident, and 

when the car stopped turning over, it fell over on 

Lucille, and it held it up off me, really, it held it 

up off me. So that's one time it saved my life. 

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

over in Twist, Arkansas, I know you've never heard of 

that one, have you? And one night the guys started a 

ball over there, you know, they started brawling, you 

know what I mean. And the guy that was mad with his 

old lady, when she fell over on this gas tank that was 

burning 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 trying to save 

Lucille. Oh I, I imagine you're still wondering why I 

call it Lucille, the lady that started that 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 pretty good. I think I'll try one more. All 

right.
