by Eric Clapton
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
When his working day was done.
He would spend all his money on a Friday night
Wake up in the morning broke
But he had a run in with little Lucy then;
Believe me that ain t no joke.
Watch out for Lucy
Though she may look frail.
Say excuse meLucy
Darling don t you use me;
I don t want to land in jail.
She started out working in a cafe
Picking money up on the side.
She was free and easyeverybody s friend
But she couldn t be satisfied.
So now in walks Bill with his cash in his hand
His heart upon his sleeve.
We tried to warn him about her ways
We never did succeed.
Chorus
Wellthe trap was sprung for poor old Bill;
You should have heard little Lucy sing
"I want a Cadillac cara beautiful home
And a thousand dollar ring."
They found our hero in the gutter
With a diamond ring and a gun.
He d done it for the love of Lucy
And ended up on the run.
Chorus
