    A                         D
Now my friend Bill was just a working lad
       C#                D
And he liked to have his fun.
             A                   E
He'd like to find a girl and get comfortable
         D               E7
When his working day was done.
         F#m                      C#7
He would spend all his money on a Friday night,
D                       A
 Wake up in the morning broke,
       F#m                      C#7
But he had a run in with little Lucy then;
  D                      E7
Believe me that ain't no joke.
  A     C#7     F#m   D
  Watch out for Lucy,
  A          C#7      F#m    D
  Though she may look frail.
           A        C#7
  Said, "Excuse me, Lucy,
  F#m               D
  Darling don't you use me;
  A               E7      A
  I don't want to land in jail."

    A                        D
She started out working in a cafe,
        C#              D
Picking money up on the side.
        A              E
She was free and easy, everybody's friend,
        D
But she couldn't be satisE7fied.
       F#m                    C#7
So now in walks Bill with his cash in his hand,
    D              A
His heart upon his sleeve.
   F#m                C#7
We tried to warn him about her ways,

   D            E7
We never did succeed.

Well, the trap was sprung for poor old Bill;
                C#                D
You should have heard little Lucy sing
          A               E
"I want a Cadillac car, a beautiful home,
      D               E7
And a thousand dollar ring."
     F#m                   C#7
They found our hero in the gutter
       D                  A
With a diamond ring and a gun.
     F#m                     C#7
He'd done it for the love of Lucy
    D               E7
And ended up on the run.
