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



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



Oh, 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
