Lucretia Songtext
von Levon Helm

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. (repeat)
