| [00:14.00] | |
| [00:15.90] | In nineteen and double-aught |
| [00:18.69] | A harlot who was hot to trot |
| [00:21.09] | Gave a fine little bijou to the world |
| [00:26.12] | With a blacksmith for a makeshift doc |
| [00:28.78] | In a cathouse far from Camelot |
| [00:31.66] | Her gold mine brought to bed a baby girl |
| [00:36.85] | When the child screamed from life's first slap |
| [00:39.77] | The bawd said kid get used to that |
| [00:42.12] | You'll never meet a day that isn't cruel |
| [00:47.82] | Then she wrapped her babe in a petticoat |
| [00:50.16] | Grabbed a bottle and made a toast |
| [00:52.77] | Here's to my gorgeous bastard Ruby Jewel |
| [00:57.79] | And the man at the piano played a tune |
| [01:02.91] | And everybody sang and danced in the saloon |
| [01:08.82] | Except Ruby, no not Ruby, Ruby Jewel |
| [01:13.77] | Reared among the guttersnipe |
| [01:19.01] | While her mama puffed the Chinese pipe |
| [01:24.48] | The salad days for Ruby didn't last |
| [01:29.60] | Forced to work and pay her dues |
| [01:32.39] | Inside that poor man's Moulin Rouge |
| [01:34.99] | The snot-nosed kid had to grow up fast |
| [01:40.08] | Night and day she'd toil and sweat |
| [01:42.90] | While brothel patrons placed their bets |
| [01:45.40] | On who would be the first to break her in |
| [01:50.21] | Then one night the madam screams |
| [01:53.65] | Ruby get to room thirteen |
| [01:56.15] | There's someone there who thinks you're quite a gem |
| [02:01.50] | And the man at the piano played a tune |
| [02:06.37] | And everybody sang and danced in the saloon |
| [02:11.50] | Except Ruby no not Ruby Ruby Jewel |
| [02:22.12] | In done up hair and a borrowed dress |
| [02:24.99] | She climbed the stares scared to death |
| [02:27.48] | Said a prayer and tip-toed through the door |
| [02:32.72] | But on deaf ears her prayer fell |
| [02:35.36] | Cause through her tears she stared at hell |
| [02:38.08] | Standing there in nothing but his drawers |
| [02:43.13] | She recognized the whiskered chin |
| [02:46.11] | Bloodshot eyes and foul-mouthed grin |
| [02:48.69] | He was the man who wore the silver star |
| [02:54.38] | She tried to turn around and run |
| [02:56.85] | But he pulled out his big six gun |
| [02:59.43] | And said whore you won't get very far |
| [03:04.58] | And the man at the piano played a tune |
| [03:09.50] | And everybody sang and danced in the saloon |
| [03:14.90] | Except Ruby, no not Ruby, Ruby Jewel |
| [03:25.21] | Ruby Jewel woke up in bed |
| [03:28.76] | A crimson pool between her legs |
| [03:31.08] | Naked as the day that she was born |
| [03:36.29] | But lying there next to him |
| [03:38.94] | Made her wish she hadn't been |
| [03:41.47] | If this was all that living had in store |
| [03:46.69] | Making sure he was asleep |
| [03:49.44] | She quietly got to her feet |
| [03:52.01] | Found his gun and aimed it 'tween his eyes |
| [03:57.23] | She kept it there 'til he came to |
| [03:59.80] | So he could stare down the barrel too |
| [04:02.34] | Pulled the trigger once and watched him die |
| [04:07.63] | And the man at the piano played a tune |
| [04:12.55] | And everybody sang and danced in the saloon |
| [04:18.50] | Except Ruby no not Ruby Ruby Jewel |
| [04:28.59] | On a rainy night in nineteen-twelve |
| [04:31.59] | Locked inside the town's new jail |
| [04:34.36] | Ruby carved a message in the stone |
| [04:39.42] | When morning came hacks led her out |
| [04:42.26] | In ankle chains right through the crowd |
| [04:44.76] | Who waited in the mud to watch the show |
| [04:49.86] | They walked her up the gallows steps |
| [04:52.75] | But the rope around her neck |
| [04:55.44] | Dropped the trap as all the watchers cheered |
| [05:00.30] | But on the wall of her cell |
| [05:03.29] | In a tiny scrawl and misspelled |
| [05:05.86] | Were the words Ruby Jewel Was Here |
| [05:10.74] | And the man at the piano played a tune |
| [05:15.84] | And everybody sang and danced in the saloon |
| [05:21.50] | Except Ruby, no not Ruby, Ruby Jewel |
