Somebody please, if somebody will

Let them take a letter to my girl, Lucille

Let them tell her, Lord, how I'm missing her still

I think about her constantly Somebody please, if somebody can

Let them take a letter from this lonely man

All I ask is, Lord, make her understand

I'll die if she don't wait for me I heard a rumor from the guys in Cell A

You've served your time and you are leaving today

Well, there is something you can do for me

To help your ol' friend, help me, please

'Cause I've got seven years in this old pen

Till I'm home again Somebody please, if somebody will

Let them take a letter to my girl, Lucille

Let them tell her, Lord, how I'm missing her still

I think about her constantly Somebody please, if somebody can

Let them take a letter from this lonely man

All I ask is, Lord, make her understand

I'll die if she don't wait for me To hear you tell it, you're all innocent men

But I was guilty and I'd do it all again

Just to hold her for a minute or two

I'd steal a king's crown, yes, I would

If I don't reach that girl some way

I know there'll be another man around Somebody please, if somebody will

Let them take a letter to my girl, Lucille

Let them tell her, Lord, how I'm missing her still

Because I think about her constantly Ugh, somebody please, if somebody can

Let them take a letter from this lonely man

All I ask is, Lord, why don't you make her understand

Because I'll die if she don't wait for me Ooh, somebody please, if somebody will

Let them take a letter to my girl, Lucille

Let them tell her, Lord, how I'm missing her still

I think about her constantly
