[Verse 1]
AD
When we left, it was cold
AD
Each other's hands we had to hold
AD
We got drunk in Tennessee
AD
She was just as drunk as me
F#m/C#F#mE
She run up the hill, she cried and cried
GF#mEA
I run down the other side
[Chorus]
GA
Oh-oh-oh, sweet Lucy

Oh-oh-oh, sweet Lucy
GADD
Oh-oh-oh, sweet Lucy let me go
[Verse 2]
AD
Police come, they took my wine
AD
They put us in jail, hundred dollar fine
AD
I could hear her, crying over the wall
AD
In the women's detention hall
F#m/C#F#mE
I got on the phone, my mama spoke
GF#mEA
"Sorry, Son, but your mama's broke"
[Chorus]
GA
Oh-oh-oh, sweet Lucy
GA
Oh-oh-oh, sweet Lucy
GADD
Oh-oh-oh, sweet Lucy let me go
[Verse 3]
AD
Where'ere I go, I get sad
AD
Seems like sorrow lives in the air
AD
In the wide-open skies of California
AD
There was sorrow way out there
F#m/C#F#mE
Five get your ten that you don't get past
GF#mEA
Five get your ten that you better go fast
[Chorus]
GA
Oh-oh-oh, sweet Lucy

[Verse 4]
AD
Oh Harry Hubcaps and Jack the Fluke
AD
They bought a bottle, a bottle for Luke
AD
They was buddies, they had a fight
AD
They broke the jukebox, they broke the light
F#m/C#F#mE
Big old Fluke, weigh three hundred pounds
GF#mEA
Fell on Harry when Harry fell down
[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh, sweet Lucy

[Verse 5]
AD
My old lady says, "Gimme that wine"
AD
I says, "Honey, quit drinking sometime"
AD
She says, "Snock, it's not my fault!
AD
Had to eat my porkchop without no salt"
F#m/C#F#mE
She run up the hill, she cried and cried
GF#mEA
I run down the other side
