Lyrics
WHO WILL TELL LUCILLE
Words Terry Abrahamson / Music Derrick Procell

IT PIERCED ME LIKE AN ARROW
SO DEEP INTO MY SOUL
AND I BID MY LAST FAREWELL
TO THE KING THAT HEAVEN STOLE
BB WAS MY BROTHER
OH I WEPT LIKE EVERY FAN
FOR THE HONEY IN HIS VOICE
AND THE MAGIC IN HIS HANDS
BUT BACK HOME IN A CASE AGAINST THE WALL
WAITS THE ONE WHO'S GONNA MISS HIM MOST OF ALL
CHORUS:
NOW WHO WILL TELL LUCILLE
WHO'S GONNA GIVE HIS GIRL THE NEWS
WHO WILL TELL LUCILLE
EVERYDAY WE HAVE THE BLUES
SHE LIVED THE LIFE OF RILEY
YEAH HE TOOK HER ROUND THE WORLD
SO GENTLE ON HER NECK TIL HER STRINGS WERE DRIPPIN' PEARLS
TO KNOW HER WAS TO LOVE HER
TO HEAR HER WAS TO CRY
NOW WHO WILL HOLD HER CLOSE PEOPLE WHO WILL DRY HER EYES
HIS BABY, HIS FOREVER SWEET SIXTEEN
NOW THE KING IS GONE
BUT WHO WILL TELL THE QUEEN
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
YOU DON'T THINK SHE GOT A HEART?
YOU DON'T THINK THAT SHE CAN FEEL?
YOU DON'T THINK SHE GOT A SOUL? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW LUCILLE
CHORUS 2X
EVERY DAY WE HAVE ....THE BLUES
