Well it's sure good to see you

But my how you've changed

Since the last time I saw you

Girl you've been rearranged

I always said your people

Were just like my kin

When I was down and out

They would always take me in

Chorus:

Oh I love you my Baby Ruth

Never lie to you

I only tell the truth

Oh I love you since you were a child

Every time I see you girl

You always raise a smile

I was living out on the highway

You didn't turn me out

I lived in your closet

And you fed me by mouth

My boots were my pillow

Wrapped under my head

I kept all my stuff

Stashed out under your bed
