NOTE: The note on the upper voice (Phil) is A, the 9th. It is tempting to sing Bb, the blues note, might even feel more natural to sing the Bb. Many people drift into the Bb. Please sing the A!

Lucille, you don’t do your Daddy’s will?
Lucille, you don’t do your Daddy’s will?
There ain’t nothing to ya, but I love you still

Lucille, please come back where you belong
Lucille, please come back where you belong
I been good to you, baby, please don’t leave me alone

I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
Asked her friends about her, all their lips were tight

Lucille, please come back where you belong
I been good to you, baby, please don’t leave me alone

Whoa

(Instrumental beak)

Lucille, you don’t do your Daddy’s will?
Lucille, you don’t do your Daddy’s will?
There ain’t nothing to ya, but I love you stillWhoa

Beware: They’re playing this in F#, not G. Notice the different phrasing when they sing ‘Lucille’.

In G. Notice that the phrasing is a lot different. The Evelys are notorious for inventing a new set of phrasing for all of their songs in each tour. Keeps it sounding fresh.
