Ruby Do
Well Ruby do,
Ruby do,
Ruby do what she want to do,
And I don't know why I had to learn the hard way,
I don't know why I didn't move along,
I don't know why I keep letting her break my heart.
Well I don't want to be no catfish,
I want to be the river.
I don't want to take no love from you,
I want to be the giver.
And I don't want you casting out your net
With dinner on your mind.
I just came to see you drop that dress,
lord, and leave it on the bank behind.
Because Ruby do,
Ruby do,
Ruby do what she want to do.
And I don't know why I had to learn the hard way.
I don't know why I didn't move along,
I don't know why I keep letting her break my heart.
Cant you hear that whistle blowing?
Through the Alabama rain.
there's a restless soul who's hitched a ride
on an early morning train.
and it never really mattered, lord
if the train arrived on time.
The only reason my man got up and got on the line
was just to ease that worried mind.
Because Ruby do,
Ruby do,
Ruby do what she want to do.
and I don't know why I had to learn the hard way.
I don't know why I didn't move along.
I don't know why I keep letting her break my heart.
