this is my first ever submission so please don't be too harsh, also am not exactly sure that the chord is quite right, but if u holler n growl enough like Mr. Waits when you are playing it sounds passable Well they call me William The Pleaser I sold opium, fireworks and lead Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers When the shadows get long I'll be dead Now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar Skin was as white as a cuttlefish bone I left Texas to follow Lucinda A sly grin and a bowl full of stars Like a kid who captures a firefly And leaves it only to die in the jar As I kick at the clouds at my hanging As I swing out over the crowd I will search every face for Lucinda's And she will go off with me down to hell I thought I'd broke loose of Lucinda The rain returned and so did the wind I cast this burden on the God that's within me I will leave this old world and go free She wasn't that kind of girl Now I've fallen from grace for Lucinda Whoever thought that hell would be so cold I did well for an old tin can sailor But she wanted the bell in my soul I've spoken to God on the mountain And I've swam in the Irish sea I ate fire and drank from the Ganges And I'll beg there for mercy for me I thought I'd broke loose of Lucinda The rain returned and so did the wind I was standing outside the Whitehorse Oh but I was afraid to go in I heard someone pull the trigger Her breasts heaved in the moonlight again There was a smear of gold in the window And then I was the jewel of her sin They call me William The Pleaser I sold opium, fireworks and lead Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers When the shadows get long I'll be dead Now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar Skin was as white as a cuttlefish bone I left Texas to follow Lucinda Now I'll never see heaven or home No I'll never see heaven or home No I'll never see heaven or home
