Lucinda Night

Words and music by Bob Menzies created December 9 2011
BPM 118
Blues in E. Set in East LA
Intro – Electric Organ – A E B7 E

Verse 1
E
I used to know a girl on the north side of town
A E
Made me feel all funny turned me upside down
A E
Teased me in the morning loved me up all night
B7 E
She was a young girl name of Lucinda Night

Chorus
A E
Hey Lucinda where will you be tonight
A E
Hey Lucinda make me feel all right
A E
Lucinda come and hold me tight
B7
Lucinda I love you, I love you Lucinda Night

Verse 2
She said I been to Manila I been to Hong Kong
I wasn’t that friendly but I learned to get along
I met Crazy Jack in Fresno and he taught me this song
When I get going I’ll be a long time gone

Instrumental – 4 bars A E B7 E

Verse 3

I met her in the valley with Benny and Jon
Said she was a friend of James T. Washington
I liked her quite a bit but there was something goin’ on
She had a strange contusion made her face all wrong

Verse 4

She said you better get it started son you ain’t got long
There could be something better comin’ along
But you ain’t the only Jack of Clubs singing this song
And when I get going I’ll be a long time gone

Chorus

Hey Lucinda where will you be tonight
Hey Lucinda make me feel all right
Lucinda come and hold me tight
Lucinda I love you, I love you Lucinda Night

Instrumental – 4 bars A E B7 E

Verse 5

I’m feeling kinda weak, but I’ll soon get strong
Been sitting here all night trying to write this song
Sometimes I wonder where a man like me belongs
I’ll be a long time going, but a whole longer time gone

Chorus
Hey Lucinda where will you be tonight
Hey Lucinda make me feel all right
Lucinda come and hold me tight
Lucinda I love you, I love you Lucinda Night

Outro – based on Chorus
