He Loves Lucy chords by Burl Ives
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(G major) He said woe to that old mule
that pulled the plow
Looked poor at the house
and wiped his sweaty brow (D major)
And he (C major) wondered how she'd
like the shutters (G major) black
Cause he (C major) reckoned any day now
Lucy (D major) might be coming back (G major)
It was seven years ago she walked away
In all that time he hasn't missed a day (D major)
Of (C major) watchin' for the greyhound to go by (G major)
And (C major) when it does he (D major) hangs
his head and cries (G major)
Oh, she loves (C major) Lucy,
and Lucy loves (G major) life
She'd rather (D major) be a rich man's darling
than a farmer's wife (G major)
And every evening (C major) he still waters her (G major) lilacs
She (C major) told him she was leaving,
didn't say (D major) when she
was coming back (G major)
Two years ago his back
didn't stoop as low
And it didn't all come from
fightin' the gooseneck hoe
(D major) All the (C major) cleared new ground
is covered now with (G major)
Because he (C major) hadn't had a
good night's sleep (D major)
since he lay in her arms (G major)
Year by year he's weathered
like the barn
Because he lost more than
the battle with (D major)
He told (C major) her when she left he understood
(G major) And he (C major) figures any day now
she'll (D major) finally get it out of her blood (G major)
Lord, he loves Lucy, (C major)
and Lucy loves (G major) life
She'd (D major) rather be a rich man's darling
than a farmer's wife (G major)
And every evening (C major) he
still waters her lilacs (G major)
She just (C major) told him she was leavin',
didn't say (D major) she wasn't
comin' back (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) you
He Loves Lucy
