Lucretia Mac Evil Lyrics

Lucretia MacEvil
Little girl what's your game?
Hard luck and trouble
Bound to be your claim to fame

Tail-shakin' heart-breakin' truckin' through town
Each and every country-mother's son, hangin' 'round
Drive a young man insane
Evil that's your name

Lucretia MacEvil
That's the thing you're doin' fine
Back seat Delilah
Got your six-foot jug o'wine, woman

I hear your mother was the talk of the sticks
Nothin' that your daddy wouldn't do for kicks
Never done a thing worth-while
You're just an evil woman-child.

(spoken) ooh, Lucy, you just so damn bad

(Instrumental Interlude)

(Bridge) Devil got you lucy
Under lock and key
Ain't about to set you free
Sign sealed and witnessed
Since the day you were born
No use tryin' to fake him out
No use tryin' to make him out
Soon, he'll be takin' out his due
What-cha gonna do?

Lucy MacEvil
Honey ya been all night?
Your hair's all messed up, babe
An' the clothes you're wearin'
Just don't fit ya right
Big Daddy Joe's, payin' your monthly rent
Tells his wife he can't imagine where the money went
Dressin' you up in style, evil woman-child.

Wow! The trumpet solo about 4 minutes into this song is amazing. This song rocks big time. Definitely this is my favorite BS&T song - and that is very high praise. However, the transcription of the lyrics is wrong in a few places. I believe the last verse is missing altogether - "ahhhh, here she comes, truckin...".

Lucy must be this really hot temptress who broke the heart of the artist who wrote this song. Otherwise he wouldn't be complaining she is so loose and tight with the Devil:-)

Since first hearing this more than half a century ago, I'd always assumed Lucretia was referring to Lucrezia Borgia, the infamous tramp of the even more infamous Borgia family of popes, cardinals, connivers and murderers.

From everything I can find (so far), I must now concede DCT was singing about the loose women he met in his bar-hopping days. I can certainly relate to that, particularly at the time the song was released. But I'm saddened that my original assumption is proved wrong.

If anyone can find any explanation that refers to the Borgia's Lucrezia, please let me know.
