Ruby Lyrics by Nadia Reid

Listen to Formation, Look for the Signs

0

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
Bittersweet, 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 Downs
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
Jimmy was the best she ever had
When you think you cannot breathe
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 and drive an old blue car
Ruby, does he hold you like he held me so?
After does he rub your back and sing you slow?
Take you 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 Downs
And I saw leaving slowly with a young man at his hip
