        G       C
Now      my friend Bill was just a working lad
        Bm      C
And he   liked to have his fun.
        G       D
He'd like to     find a girl and get comfortable
        C       D
When his         working day was done.
 
        Em      Bm
He would         spend all his money on a Friday night,
        C       G
         Wake up in the morning broke,
        Em      Bm
But he   had a run in with little Lucy then;
        C       D
Be      lieve me that ain't no joke.
 
        G       Bm     Em     C
         Watch   out for         Lucy,
        G       Bm     Em     C
         Though she      may look frail.
        G       Bm
  Said, "Ex     cuse me, Lucy,
        Em      C
         Darling, don't you use me;
        G       D      G
         I don't want to land in jail."
 
G  Bm  Em  C
G  D  G  D
 
        G       C
She      started out working in a cafe,
        Bm      C
Picking          money up on the side.
        G       D
She was          free and easy, everybody's friend,
        C       D
But she          couldn't be satisfied.
 
        Em      Bm
So now   in walks Bill with his cash in his hand,
        C       G
His      heart upon his sleeve.
        Em      Bm
We       tried to warn him about her ways,
        C       D
We       never did succeed.
 
Chorus
 
G  Bm  Em  C
G  D  G  D
 
        G       C
Well, the        trap was sprung for poor old Bill;
        Bm      C
You should have   heard little Lucy sing
        G       D
"I want a        Cadillac car, a beautiful home,
        C       D
And a    thousand dollar ring."
 
        Em      Bm
They     found our hero in the gutter
        C       G
With a   diamond ring and a gun.
        Em      Bm
He'd     done it for the love of Lucy
        C       D
And      ended up on the run.
