Yes, a great scene and you do emphasize with all three of them, with Lucille who is hungry for laughter, with her husband telling the whole story of their marriage in a few lines, and Kenny being drawn into this, first attracted by her and then reflecting on his words. So much in there.

My step daddy's ex-wife was named Lucille, he used to on occasion play that song; you see she had multiplesclirosis and went to hospice with her parents in a small town about 100 miles away, and he was left with his four kids to raise and lost his business and house to the medical bills, was on his own for 5 years when he met my mom and they married and our families merged and became one. After a couple of years together we settled into a nicer home in a beautiful beach town, on his vacation time at home he had time to reflect on his life, and he found that song and played it repeatedly for a few nights, and I could feel his pain. My mother felt it and said, "he is morning his first wife, we have to let him morn." I was 9 years young, and every time I hear that song I feel my step daddy's time of morning and love for the song that he could could reflect and find joy in. Bless you step daddy now in heaven and bless the song writer and Kenny Rogers for singing it so beautifully. Thanks

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"

Man, since the first time I heard it on AM radio when it was first broadcast, this song has always shaken me. Maybe it's because my family background includes lots of poor farmers or maybe its my unwanted divorce for reasons I'm still not sure of, or maybe it's simply the lyrics of classic Country and Western music.

Choose wisely. "400 children, and a crop in the field" can be way too much for anyone. Have some compassion, beginning with yourself. God bless you all, from an 80 year old granny in the high mountains of wintry, snowy Montana.

THIS SONG DOES HAVE A COUNTRY TINGE TO IT BUT KENNY ROGERS WAS ONE (IF NOT THE BEST) CROSSOVER ARTISTS OF ALL TIME. He had over 120 hits acros many grengres of music-rock,country. he hit the middle of the road even better than anyone else. don't know anyone who does not like Kenny Rogers or his signature song "The Gambler>" had 21 = plus number ones. He is a expert story teller/balladteer.

The song has extremely powerful imagery right from the start. "...on a barstool she took off her ring." If you've ever heard the song before all it takes is those few words to feel her years of pain and disappointment. R.I.P, Kenny.
@luckydelauta3859 Жыл бұрын
So, after her "years of pain and disappointment", she must feel great joy in dumping her husband and 4 children and attempting to commit adultery. What a woman! Must be the model for the self-centered millennials and gen z twirps.
