(Eric Clapton)
Well, my friend Bill's just a working man
And he like to have his fun.
He like to find a girl and get comfortable
When his working day was done.

He would spend all his money on a Friday night,
Wake up in the morning broke.
But he hadn't run into little Lucy then;
Believe me that ain't no joke.

  Watch out for Lucy,
  Though she may look frail.
  Said, "Excuse me, Lucy,
  Darling don't you use me;
  I don't want to land in jail."

She started out working in a cafe,
Making money up on the side.
She was free and easy, everybody's friend,
But you couldn't keep her satisfied.

So then up walks Bill with his cash in his hand,
His heart upon his sleeve.
We tried to warn him about her ways,
We never did succeed.

  Chorus

Well, the trap was sprung on poor old Bill;
You should have heard little Lucy sing,
"I want a Cadillac car, a beatiful home,
And a thousand dollar ring."

We found our hero in the gutter
With a diamond ring and a gun.
He'd done it for the love of Lucy
And ended up on the run.

  Chorus
