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............
