Lyrics:
Ah, now said I love a girl and-a Ruby is her name
Hear me talkin' now
This girl don't love me, but I love 'er just the same
What'd I say, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ruby, Ruby, I'm-a want ya
Like a ghost I'm-a gonna haunt ya
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby will you be mine, sometime

Ah, each time I see you, baby my heart cries
Ah, it does, Ruby
I tell ya I'm gonna steal you away from all those guys
Are they wise
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, from the happy day I met ya
Now I made a bet that I was goin' to get ya
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby will you be mine?
Hear me talkin', in time, now

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

Now I love this girl, I said-a Ruby is her name
Believe me, now
When this girl looks at me she just sets my soul aflame
Doncha know, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
I got some hugs and-a kisses too
Yeah and now I'm gonna give-a them all to you
Now, listen, now Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine
Gonna get you sometime, Ruby

Hey-hey (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
Hey-hey (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
Hey-hey (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
Hey-hey (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
Hey-hey (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Ah listen, listen, listen, now
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby will you be mine
Ah, in time, everybody now
