I can still recall that call telling me to come home
I knew right then that the end wouldnât be long
So I packed my bags and I got my ass on the first thing headed down the road
Praying to God not to rob this world of Lucilleâs soul
I guess the stress of years of pain finally taken its toll
And I suppose none of us know when its our time to go
But I know that time wasnât on my side when that ride took much too long
Cause all I heard when my feet hit the curb was âLucilleâs goneâ
Jesus, Joseph, Mary and Mosesâ¦even Deacon James
Iâve come today to pray that you save Lucille in our fatherâs name
The Lord never heard a word as true as what Iâm bout to say
Donât let her die before she wakes and my soul is yours to take
Itâs been some years and thatâs the last I don seen of the south
Ainât no reason for keeping Mississippi in my heart now
When my god mama died, I cried but I wonât shed no mo tears
Sheâs always in my heart, no need to fear
Chorus
Lord wont you take me away, just so my Lucille can stay
