w ell i knew someday Ruby would be leav in'
And she w asn't happy living quietly qui etly
Ca use she would get that bedroomlook each mo rning
And i fel t Ruby pull away from me
Yes she'll go downtown at 9 o'clock this evening
Walk under that red lights then down the hall down the hall
Look for the highest crying girl that's Ruby
And if you wait your turn you'll see Ruby fall
D on't let her know that you even know m e
She'll be trying to forget it all
And d on't tell me how it was tonight to morrow
Cause i don't want to see Ruby fall
I did'nt hold her back when she got restless
One man is not enough when she want's it all
I let her go when i saw what she wanted
Cause i dont care to see Ruby fall
