now my friend bill was just A working lad

and he liked to have his fun .

he’d like to find a girl and get comfortable
C D
when his working day was done .

Em Bm
he would spend all his money on A friday night ,
C G
wake up in the morning broke ,
Em Bm
but he had a run in with little lucy then;
C D
be lieve me that ain’t no joke .

G Bm Em C
watch out for lucy ,
G Bm Em C
though she may look frail .
G Bm
said , “ex cuse me , lucy ,
Em C

Bm C
picking money up on the side .
G D
she was free and easy , everybody’s friend ,
C D
but she couldn’t be satis fied .

Em Bm
so now in walks bill with his cash in his hand ,
C G
his heart upon his sleeve .
Em Bm
we tried to warn him A bout her ways ,
C D
we never did suc ceed .

G C
well , the trap was sprung for poor old bill;
Bm C
you should have heard little lucy sing
G D
“i want A cadillac car , A beautiful home ,
C D
and A thousand dollar ring . ”

Em Bm
they found our hero in the gutter
C G
with A diamond ring and A gun .
Em Bm
he’d done it for the love of lucy
C D
and ended up on the run .
