When we left, it was cold
Each other's hands we had to hold
We was drunk in Tennessee
She got drunk as drunk as me
She run up the hill, she cried and cried
I run down the other side
Oh, Sweet Lucy, let me go
Police come, they took my wine
They put us in jail, hundred dollar fine
I could hear her cryin' over the wall
In the women's detention hall
I got on the phone, my mama spoke
Sorry son, but your mama's broke
Oh, sweet Lucy, let me go
Seems like sorrow lives in the air
In the wide open skies of California
There was sorrow way out there
Oh, Sweet Lucy, let me go
Oh, Harry, up Caps and Jack the Flute
They bought a bottle of old dupe
They was buddies, but they had a fight
Big ol' fluke weighed 300 pounds
Fell on Harry when Harry fell down
Oh, Sweet Lucy, let me go
My old lady says, give me that wine
I said, honey, quit drinkin' some time
She said, snark, it's not my fault
Had to eat my pork chop without no salt
She run up the hill, she cried and cried
I run down the other side
