Ruby's lounge was none too clean The lights never worked on the pinball machine The sawdust floor hadn't been swept in years Brass spittoons and padded stools The same collection of half drunk fools Joking with Ruby or cryin' in their beers
Ruby's Lounge had a neon sign The big old ugly blinkin' kind It said "Ruby's Lounge... Your Husband's Not Here" And ten cents played a jukebox tune Old songs like "Shine On Harvest Moon" And six bits bought a pitcher of cold draft beer
Oh Ruby, Ruby, time has flown And (look) how your little girl has grown Ruby's Lounge seems oh so far away But Ruby, you never stopped to rest So your little girl could have the best And I'll love you, mama, and Ruby's Lounge Until my dyin' day
Now Ruby's Lounge had a clientele They didn't dress, they didn't pay too well But ev'ry night you could count on 'em Droppin' in An occasional fight or a dirty word Wasn't nothin' that I hadn't heard And I've never left safer anywhere I've been
When a man was down without a friend Ruby always had a buck to lend And she'd set him up She'd say "Go on and drink one free" While I washed mugs and I cleaned the bar Oh I dreamed someday I'd be a big star But Ruby's Lounge was home sweet home to me
Oh Ruby, Ruby, time has flown And (look) how your little girl has grown Ruby's Lounge seems oh so far away But Ruby, you never stopped to rest So your little girl could have the best And I'll love you, mama, and Ruby's Lounge Until my dyin' day
Oh Ruby, Ruby, how time has flown Oh look how your little girl has grown Ruby's Lounge seems oh so far away Bur Ruby you never stopped to rest And you sure gave your little girl the best And I'll love you, mama, and Ruby's Lounge Until my dyin' day...Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
