Ruby
I met Ruby on a bus from state to state
She was tired
I was timid
It was late
She was to marry her southland sweetheart
but as sweet I am
when it comes to young love
James was a well-known man around town
He sold houses to the masses
in the state of Burley Down
And I saw him leaving slowly with a young man at his hip
Where did my love go?
He was the sailor of my ship
And Jimmy was the best she ever had
When you think you cannot breath
and you know you'd rather die instead
That's when you know you have to go,
and he knew he had to leave
So in the state of where you are
roll up the windows
saying drive an old blue car
Blue because he hold you like
he held me so
After, does he rub your back
and sing ya slow?
Take ya to highest high and
lowest low?
Oh, Ruby, I don't think so
James was a well-known man around town
He sold houses to the masses
in the state of Burley Down
And I saw him leaving slowly with a young man at his hip
She was tired
I was timid
It was late
She was to marry her southland sweetheart
but as sweet I am
when it comes to young love
James was a well-known man around town
He sold houses to the masses
in the state of Burley Down
And I saw him leaving slowly with a young man at his hip
Where did my love go?
He was the sailor of my ship
And Jimmy was the best she ever had
When you think you cannot breath
and you know you'd rather die instead
That's when you know you have to go,
and he knew he had to leave
So in the state of where you are
roll up the windows
saying drive an old blue car
Blue because he hold you like
he held me so
After, does he rub your back
and sing ya slow?
Take ya to highest high and
lowest low?
Oh, Ruby, I don't think so
James was a well-known man around town
He sold houses to the masses
in the state of Burley Down
And I saw him leaving slowly with a young man at his hip
