Lucille’s Granny - 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
Or you might say brought me fame
I don't think I can just talk enough about Lucille
Sometimes when I'm blue it's seems like Lucille
Trying to help me calling my name
I used to sing spirituals and I thought that
This was the thing I wanted to do
But somehow or another when I went in the Army
I picked up on Lucille started singing blues
Well now when I'm paying my dues
Maybe you don't know what I mean when I say paying my dues
I mean when things are bad with me
I can always I can always you you know like depend on Lucille
Sorta hard to talk to you myself
I guess I'll let Lucille say
All of 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's misusing me
And I go home at night maybe I'm lonely
Well not maybe I am lonely
I pick up Lucille and then ping out those funny sounds
That sound good to me you know
Sometimes I get to play it where I can't even say nothing
Look out
Sometimes I think it is crying
You know if I can sing pop tunes like
Frank Sinatra or Sammy Davis Jr.
I don't think I still could do it
'Cause Lucille don't wanna play nothing but the blues
And 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 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 ah
You know I've met a lot of you months ago
A lot of you wanna know why I call the guitar Lucille
Lucille has practically saved my life two three times
No kidding 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 of me really it held it up off of me
So that's one time it saved my life
The way the way I uh I came by the name of Lucille
I was over in Twist Arkansas I know you never heard of that
But happened and one night the guys started a ball over there
You know started brawling you know what I mean
And the guy that was mad with this 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
Uh oh I I imagine you're still wondering why I call it Lucille
The lady that started the 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 really good I think I'll try one more alright
