Staring at shadows on the wall

Wish I knew of someone I could call

Someone who might understand at all

Ruby Lee

I surely wish you was here with me

Someone's laying with me in my bed

Some stranger who don't understand my head

Wish it was you laying here instead

Ruby Lee

I sure wish you was here with me

Drowning in a sea of pretty faces

Being quite the man about the town

Packing up and going different places

But I sure miss having you around

I listen to the noises down the hall

Think I'll move out of here in the fall

I ain't exactly having me a ball

Ruby Lee

I sure wish you was here with me
