(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
Well, I've got a girl and Ruby is her name (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
She don't love me but I love her just the same (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, Ruby, Ruby, I'm-a want ya
Like a ghost I'm-a gonna haunt ya
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine? (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
Well, each time I see you, baby my heart cries (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
Well, I'm a-gonna steal you away from all those guys (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, from the sunny day I met ya
I made a bet that I would get ya
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine? (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
instrumental sax with scat
I've got a girl and Ruby is her name (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
I'd give the world just to set her heart aflame (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, got some lovin', money too
Gonna give it all to you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine? (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine? (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine? (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
