Well I got a girl and a Ruby is her name
She don’t love me, but I love her just the same
Whoa, oh, oh,
Ruby, Ruby, I want ya
Like a ghost I’m-a gonna haunt ya
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby when will you be mine
Each time I see you, baby my heart cries
Well I’m gonna steal you away from all those guys
Whoa, oh, oh, from the sunny day I met ya
I made a bet that I’m goin’ to get ya
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?
Hey-hey, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby
Hey-hey, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby
Hey-hey, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby
Hey-hey, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby
Come to me, now
Hey-hey, oh, oh, oh, oh
Gonna get ya
Hey-hey, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby
Well, I tell ya
Well I got a girl and a Ruby is her name
And I’d give the world just to set her heart aflame
Whoa, oh, oh,
I got some love and some money too
I’m gonna give ’em all to you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine
