The Black Lillies - Ruby lyrics

rate me

Ruby she wants to ride, ruby she wants to ride

Shines like a diamond, dark as the night

My ruby she wants to ride

And my ruby she holds the devil’s hand

Ruby, she holds the devil’s hand

I see them come around

And I’ll cut him down

Ruby holds the devil’s hand

[Chorus]

But I’m gonna get my ruby out of jail

100 dollars, show the girl her bail

I’ve been drinking that corn liquor

But you know I love her still

I’m gonna get my ruby out of jail

Ruby loves that sweet cold pain

Ruby loves that sweet cold pain

I’ve walked though her mind

Poisoned her veins

Ruby loves that sweet cold pain

And my ruby she loves another man

Ruby she loevs another man

See that golden ring, it don’t mean a thing

Ruby loves another man

[Chorus]

But I’m gonna get my ruby out of jail

100 dollars, show the girl her bail

I’ve been drinking that corn liquor

But you know I love her still

I’m gonna get my ruby out of jail

[Guitar break]

Oh Ruby, oh please come home

Ruby, please come home

Your baby my knees, and hungry mouths to feed

Oh ruby, oh please come home

[Chorus]

But I’m gonna get my ruby out of jail

100 dollars, show the girl her bail

I’ve been drinking that corn liquor

But you know I love her still

I’m gonna get my ruby out of jail.
