Ruby Lee

I was born, one of 12

In a house too old to stand

I met Ruby Lee

Out of me she (me she made a man) made a man

Ruby was my first one

Before her was none (none other)

Now that she's gone

There can never be another one

Ruby, tell me, why did you have to leave me?

I never thought I'd find a love to please me

Stop this misery (ooh)

Come on back to me

Ruby Lee

Ruby, Ruby

Ruby Lee (Ruby Lee, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Loving you was my destiny, honey

(Ruby Lee) oh

(Ruby, Ruby)

Ruby Lee (Ruby Lee, ooh)

Loving you has got the best of me, honey

Oh, yeah

Two years, I've been away in a far (ooh) off land

Carrying my gun and crawling through the sand

I asked all my friends if they knew (ooh) where Ruby went

But all they could say was that her house was up for rent

Ruby, tell me, why did you have to leave me?

I never thought I'd find a love to please me

Stop this misery (ooh)

Come on back to me

Ruby Lee

Ruby, Ruby

Ruby Lee (ooh-ooh-ooh, Ruby Lee), honey

(Ruby Lee)

(Ruby, Ruby)

Ruby Lee

Ruby, tell me, why did you have to leave me?

I never thought I'd find a love to please me

Stop this misery (ooh)

Come on back to me

Ruby Lee, oh

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby (ooh)

(Ruby Lee)

Loving you has got the best of me, darling

(Ruby Lee) ooh, ooh

(Ruby, Ruby) Ruby

Ruby Lee (ooh-ooh-ooh, Ruby Lee)

Not having you has got the best of me, darling

(Ruby Lee) oh

Ruby (Ruby), Ruby (Ruby), Ruby (Ruby, Ruby Lee)

(Ruby Lee, Ruby Lee, Ruby)

Loving you has got the best of me

(Ruby Lee)

(Ruby, Ruby) ooh, ooh

Ruby Lee (ooh-ooh-ooh, Ruby Lee)

Everyday, every dog, all day, girl

(Ruby Lee) ooh

Ruby (Ruby, Ruby), Ruby, Ruby, Ruby (Ruby Lee)

Loving you is my destiny

(Ruby Lee, Ruby, Ruby)
