        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 satis      fied.

        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 a    bout her ways,
        C       D
We       never did suc  ceed.

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.
