Ravishing Ruby — текст песни (Tom T. Hall)

Ravishing ruby, shed been around for awhile

Ravishing ruby, she was a truckstop child

Born in the back of a rig somewhere near l.a.

Ravishing ruby, you poured a lot of hot coffee in your day



Ravishing ruby, believe anything you say

Just like her daddy said, said hed be back someday

She was just fourteen, she grew up wild and free

And all the time shed be waitin on him, shed been waiting on you and me



Ravishing ruby, she sleeps in a bunk out back

Her days and nights are filled with dreams of a man named smilin jack

That was her daddys name and thats all she ever knew

Ravishing ruby aint got time for guys like me and you



Ravishing ruby, a beautiful young girl now

Ravishing ruby, she made a solemn vow

Waitin on smilin jack, hell come rollin by

And she wants to see him, she wants to touch him either way, dead or alive



Ravishing ruby, she sleeps in a bunk out back

Her days and nights are filled with dreams of a man named smilin jack

That was her daddys name and thats all she ever knew

Ravishing ruby aint got time for guys like me and you
