Ruby, she won't do right
Ruby, she won't do right
Shines like a diamond, dark as the night
My Ruby, she won't do right
And my Ruby, she holds that devil's hand
Ruby, she holds that devil's hand
See him come around; you know I'll cut him down
Ruby, holds that devil's hand
But I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail
One hundred dollars surely go her bail
I been drinking that corn liquor, but you know I love her still
I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail
Ruby loves that sweet cocaine
Ruby loves that sweet cocaine
Trouble through her mind, poison in her veins
My Ruby loves that sweet cocaine
And my Ruby, she loves another man
Ruby, she loves another man
See that golden ring? It don't mean a thing
Ruby loves another man
But I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail
One hundred dollars surely go her bail
I been drinking that corn liquor, but you know I love her still
I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail
Ruby, oh please come home
Ruby, oh please come home
Got a baby on my knee and hungry mouths to feed
Ruby, oh please come home
I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail
One hundred dollars surely go her bail
I've been drinking that corn liquor, but you know I love her still
I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail

This is a wonderful album. It is personal, senitive, and caring. I love to here Sturgill sing, and wish had found him earlier. I thsnk wnku for playing local artists. I lived in Jackson Ky. And know how sad the drugs have made so many hometowns. Keep singing you are great. carolfaulkner
