Lucinda

Met one summer evening

As the sun was going down

She was lyin' on the beach

In her graduation gown

She was wrapped up in a blanket

I could tell, she knew her way around

And as I lay down beside her

Know, she never made a sound

On down the beach

Came the beach cleaning man

Scoopin' up the papers

Flattening down the sand

Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda

Got to run away

That big white truck is closin' in

And we'll get wounded if we stay

Now Lucinda lies buried

'Neath the California sand

Put under

By the beach cleaning man

Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda

Why'd you have to go?

They sent her to high school

They sent her to low school

She just wouldn't go further
