Ruby B.
(Children playing in the background jumping rope
And saying nursery rhymes)
Ruby B, Ruby B, you were a little girl just like me
Did they know what you knew
That you'd be big and brave
And maybe frightened too
Ruby B, Ruby B, you were a smart girl just like me
Did they know what you knew
That you'd do all your homework
Like you're supposed to do
Ruby B, Ruby B, you were a gentle girl just like me
Did they know what you knew
That you'd behave so well
Just like mama told you to
Ruby B, Ruby B, you were a sweet girl just like me
Did they know what you knew
That you would pray for them
When they shouted at you
Ruby B, Ruby B, you are a woman now that I can see
Did they know what you knew
That color can't be used to separate, too
Ruby B, Ruby B, you were a little girl just like me
Did they know what you knew
That you'd be big and brave
And maybe frightened too
Ruby B, Ruby B, you were a little girl just like me
Ruby B, Ruby B, just like me
Ruby B, Ruby B, just like me
Ruby B, Ruby B, just like me
Ruby B, Ruby B, just like me
Ruby B, Ruby B, just like me
Ruby B, Ruby B, just like me
