| In a | bar in Tol | edo, ac | ross from the | depot, on a |barstool she |
6 -5 5 -5 RRr -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 -5 -5 6
| took off her ring. | I | thought I'd get clo | ser so I walked on |
-5 5 r -4 -5 -5 -4 6 6 -4 5----> RR 5 -5 6 6 6 6
| over I | sat down and | asked her her name. | | When the | drinks fin'ly hit |
-5 5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 6 6 -6 -7b -6 5 -5
| her, she | said "I'm no | quitter, but I | fin'ly quit | living on | dreams. |

| I'm | hungry for | laughter and | here ever af | ter I'm | after what |

| ever the | other life | brings". | In the |
6 6 6 6 -5 5 6 6 6 6 -5 5-5 6 6 6
| mirror I | saw him and | I closely | watched him. I | thought how he |
6 -5 5 -5 ---> RRr -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 -5 -5 6
| looked out of place. | | He | came to the wo | man who | sat there be |
-5 5 r-4 -5 -5 -4 6 6 -4 5 ---> RR5-5 6 6 6 6
| side me, he | had a strange | look on his face. | | The big hands are cal- |
-5 5 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -5 6 6 -6 -7b -6 5 -5
|loused, he | looked like a | mountain. For a | minute I | thought I was | dead. |
RRr 6 -7 -7 -7 7 -7 6 -7 -7 -7 7 -7 6
| But | he started | shakin' his | big heart was brea | kin', he |

| turned to the | woman and | said: | |
Rr 4 4 4 4 5 6 7 -7 -6 -5 RRr -6
| You picked a | fine time to leave | me, Lu | cille. | With |

| four hungry chil | dren and a | crop in the | field. |

| After he | left us, I | ordered more | whiskey I | thought how she |
6 -5 5 -5 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 -5 -5 6 -5 -5
| made him look small. | |From lights of | the bar room to | a rented hotel |
5 -5 -6 -6 -6 7 7 -5 6 ---> R
| room, we | walked without | talkin' at all. | |
RRr 5-5 6 6 6 -5 5 6 6 6 6 -5 5-5 6 6 -6 -7b
| She was a | beauty, but when | she came to | me she must | have thought I
-6 5 -5 6 -7 -7 7 -7 6 -7 -7 -7 7 -7
| lost my mind. I couldn't hold her, the words that he told her

, kept comin' back time after time.
