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 old 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

Oooooh, 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............
