lyrics

I was two men down
when he walked in the shop,
when I gave him the job
his face lit up.
 
He started
the very next day.
After a week
I raised his pay.
 
He told me his name
was Warren James,
back in Sydney,
he used to drive a crane.
He worked hard.
I had no complaints.
His welds were clean
and he was never late.
 
It was my daughter Lucille
who opened the safe,
they caught a plane
to Asia someplace.
 
They’d struck up
some kind of bond
and Lucille always liked
those outlaw songs.
 
He reminded me
of myself back when
I got out
on the street again.
 
I blame myself.
I don’t know why,
am I paying for the crimes
for which I was never tried?
 
Lucille if you hear this please
call your mother
your mother or me.
 
We love you
no matter what,
you’re still young
it’s not too late to stop.
 
Lucille if you hear this please
call your mother
your mother or me.
