Lyrics:
Well, I got a girl and Ruby is her name
She don't love me, but I love her just the same
Oh, Ruby Ruby how I want you
Like a ghost I'm gonna haunt you
Ruby Ruby when will you be mine

Each time I see you baby my heart cries
I'm gonna steal you away from all those guys
Oh, from the sunny day I met you
Made a bet that I would get you
Ruby Ruby when will you be mine

I got a girl and Ruby is her name
I'd give the world just to set her heart aflame
Oh, got some lovin', money too
Gonna give it all to you
Ruby Ruby when will you be mine
