John The Conqueror - Lucille Lyrics

I can still recall that call telling me to come home
I knew right then that the end wouldn't be long
So I packed my bags
and I got my ass on the first thing headed down the road
Praying to God not to rob this world of Lucille's soul

Lord won't you take me away, just so my Lucille can stay
Lord won't you take me away, just so my Lucille can stay

I guess the stress of years of pain finally taken its toll
And I suppose none of us know when its our time to go
But I know that time wasn't on my side
when that ride took much too long
Cause all I heard when my feet hit the curb was 'Lucille's gone'

Lord won't you take me away, just so my Lucille can stay
Lord won't you take me away, just so my Lucille can stay

Jesus, Joseph, Mary and Moses... even Deacon James
I've come today to pray
that you save Lucille in our father's name
The Lord never heard a word as true as what I'm bout to say
Don't let her die before she wakes and my soul is yours to take

It's been some years and that's the last I don seen of the south
Ain't no reason for keeping Mississippi in my heart now
When my god mama died, I cried but I won't shed no mo tears
She's always in my heart, no need to fear

Lord won't you take me away, just so my Lucille can stay
Lord won't you take me away, just so my Lucille can stay
