Ruby / Ruby Baby Lyrics by Ray Stevens

Melancholy Fescue (High Class Bluegrass)

0

They say, Ruby, you're like a dream
Not always what you seem
And though my heart may break when I awake
Let it be so, I only know

They say, Ruby, you're like a song
You just don't know right from wrong
And in your eyes, I see heartaches for me
Right from the start, you stole my heart
Ruby, it's you
(Ruby, it's you)

I hear your voice and I must come to you
I got no choice, so what else can I do?
They say, Ruby, you're like a flame
Into my life you came
And though I should beware, still I just don't care
You thrill me so, I only know
Ruby, it's you
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
Well, I got a gal and Ruby is her name (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
She don't love mе, but I love her just the samе (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
Whoa, oh, oh, Ruby, Ruby, how I want you
Like a ghost, I'm a-gonna haunt you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine? (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)

Well, each time I see you, baby, my heart cries (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
Well, I'm gonna steal you away from all those guys (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
Whoa, oh, oh, from the sunny day I met ya
I made a bet that I would get ya
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine? (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)

I got a gal and Ruby is her name (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
I'd give the world just to set her heart aflame (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
Whoa, oh, oh, got some lovin', money too
Gonna give it all to you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine? (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine? (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine? (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
