Låtskrivere: Hal Bynum / Roger Bowling
"Lucille" is a song written by Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum, and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Rogers. It was released in January 1977 as the second and final single from the album Kenny Rogers. It became Rogers' first major hit as a solo artist after leaving the successful country/rock group The First Edition the previous year. An international hit, it reached number 1 on the Billboard Country Singles chart and number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] Overseas, "Lucille" reached the top of the UK Singles Chart in June 1977, the first of Rogers' two number one singles there.

Lyrics: In a bar in Toledo across from the depot On a barstool, she took off her ring I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over I sat down and asked her name When the drinks finally hit her she said "I'm no quitter But I finally quit livin' on dreams I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm after whatever the other life brings" In the mirror, I saw him and I closely watched him I thought how he looked out of place He came to the woman who sat there beside me He had a strange look on his face The big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain For a minute I thought I was dead But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking He turned to the woman and said "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille With four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times But this time your hurting won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille" After he left us, I ordered more whiskey I thought how she'd made him look small From the lights of the barroom To a rented hotel room We walked without talking at all She was a beauty but when she came to me She must have thought I'd lost my mind I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her Kept coming back time after time "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille With four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times But this time your hurting won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille With four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times But this time your hurting won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille"

Good, soulful & sexy voice of Billy Curribgton❤❤❤

[@margieguilfordwoman]

I am so PROUD of Billy! I worked with him in high school (awesome student) and he never seems to change...Love his looks, attitude and a great voice...But mostly a great heart!!! He stood out like a diamond in his senior class....Loaded with excellent talents besides being awesome human being...Does it show that he impresses me?

[@Realdustinlynch_music]

Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support ❤

[@brianrunyon266]

Kenny Rogers would be proud. His version was the first country song I heard, due to my grandmother having a copy of the album Kenny Rogers.

[@lucillerosedarmiriggio8329]

THANK YOU! ❤

[@happyolddude]

i must confess I had never heard of this bloke before but he does a reasonable job on this song. However, nobody can ever beat the version back in 1977 by the great man Waylon Jennings. AND that guitar lick at the end by the late Reggie Young one of the finest pickers around.

[@DarkMoon-s3t]

Sing it ,sweet music man ❤

[@DarkMoon-s3t]

Fine singing Billy. Keep it going!!!

[@margieguilfordwoman]

I feel sorry for the kids left behind.......I will see you in Key West.....Behave yourself in the meantime and carry on with that voice! You do a great job! I AM IMPRESSED!

Most the new guys have talent...it’s the industry that won’t let them use it!! They want to produce trash and sell it. This was solid gold.

At first when I saw that Billy Currington was gonna do this song I braced myself. Not becaise he's not a good singer but because most singers of today cannot do songs like the legends who made them number 1. But I have to say Kudos Billy. You did amazing

Love most of Billy's songs. But with Lucille you just can't top Kenny. All in all a decent version however.

[@bethclark7615]

Daniel Gregg I do agree. But he did pretty good.

[@MrSAYANTAN22]

He took it to a diff angle......the song sounds so so drunk to me but in a very good way

Disagree I think he sounds better then kenny. Thou I loved Kenny RIP.
