Rock And Roll Ruby

Well I took my Ruby jukin' on the outskirts of town
She kicked off her shoes and rolled her stockin's down
Put a quarter in the jukebox to get a little beat
Everybody started watchin' on the rhythm of her feet
She's my rock'n roll Ruby rock'n roll
Rock'n roll Ruby rock'n roll
When Ruby starts to rockin' it satisfies my soul
Now Ruby started rockin' bout one o'clock
And when she started rockin' she just couldn't stop
She rocked on the tables and she rocked on the floor
Everybody yell Ruby rock some more
She's my rock'n roll Ruby rock'n roll...
[ guitar ]
Well it was round about four and I thought she would stop
She looked at me and then she looked at the clock
She said wait a minute Tillis now don't you get sour
All I want to do is rock a little bit more
She's my rock'n roll Ruby rock'n roll...
One night my Ruby she left me all alone
I tried to contact her on the telephone
I finally found her bout twelve o'clock
She said leave me alone daddy cause your Ruby wants to rock
She's my rock'n roll Ruby rock'n roll...
Well rock rock'n roll...
When Ruby starts to rockin' it satisfies my soul
