Levon Helm - Lucrecia lyrics
[Levon Helm - Lucrecia lyrics]
Saturday night a'cruisin the streets
In the city
Hey mister can you tell me where to go
He said I know a place, now if
You want the real nitty gritty
Well Lucrecia is the girl
That you oughta know so I jumped in the cab
I followed this stranger's direction
We pulled up to the Paradise Hotel
I walked up the steps so
Eager in need of affection
I reached out and stuck my finger on the bell
And then a voice outta nowhere said
Kindly state your business, please
Lucrecia, angel in the night
Spread your wings and take me
On a magic flight
Lucrecia, a quarter for the dance
Well if you spend your money
She'll supply the sweet romance
On up in her room, my
Fantasy went into motion
She thrilled me like I never been before
I was weak in the knees
After the ragin' commotion
I stood up and slowly staggered to the door
She said you came in like a schoolboy
But you leavin here a man
Lucrecia, angel in the night
Spread your wings and take me
On a magic flight
Lucrecia, a quarter for the dance
Well if you spend your money
Then she'll supply the sweet romance
In the city
Hey mister can you tell me where to go
He said I know a place, now if
You want the real nitty gritty
Well Lucrecia is the girl
That you oughta know so I jumped in the cab
I followed this stranger's direction
We pulled up to the Paradise Hotel
I walked up the steps so
Eager in need of affection
I reached out and stuck my finger on the bell
And then a voice outta nowhere said
Kindly state your business, please
Lucrecia, angel in the night
Spread your wings and take me
On a magic flight
Lucrecia, a quarter for the dance
Well if you spend your money
She'll supply the sweet romance
On up in her room, my
Fantasy went into motion
She thrilled me like I never been before
I was weak in the knees
After the ragin' commotion
I stood up and slowly staggered to the door
She said you came in like a schoolboy
But you leavin here a man
Lucrecia, angel in the night
Spread your wings and take me
On a magic flight
Lucrecia, a quarter for the dance
Well if you spend your money
Then she'll supply the sweet romance
