Ah now said I love a girl and-a Ruby is her name<br />

<br />

This girl don't love me but I love 'er just the same<br />

<br />

(Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh), Ruby, Ruby, I'm-a want ya<br />

Like a ghost I'm-a gonna haunt ya<br />

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby will you be mine?, sometime<br />

<br />

Ah each time I see you, baby my heart cries<br />

<br />

I tell ya I'm gonna steal you away from all those guys<br />

<br />

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, from the happy day I met ya<br />

Now I made a bet that I was goin' to get ya<br />

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby will you be mine?<br />

<br />

"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)<br />

"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)<br />

"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)<br />

"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)<br />

<br />

{"Hey-hey " interspersed with "Oh, oh, oh, oh"}<br />

<br />

"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)}<br />

Well, I tell ya<br />

<br />

Now I love this girl I said-a Ruby is her name<br />

<br />

When this girl looks at me she just sets my soul aflame<br />

<br />

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, I got some hugs and-a kisses, too<br />

Yeah and now I'm gonna give-a them all to you<br />

Now, listen, now Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?<br />

<br />

"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)<br />

"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)<br />

"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)<br />

"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)<br />

"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Oh, oh, oh, oh)<br />

<br />

Ah listen, listen, listen, now<br />

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby will you be mine?<br />

<br />
