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
