作词 : Berg, Krekel She danced in the dirty streets Satin shoes tied to her feet People 'round here said she was a sight Every night when the sun went down She'd curtsy and take a bow To the man in the moon and the dim street lights We held in high regard The rose in the mission yard Singing, "Buffalo Gals won't you come out tonight?" And her name was Ruby Brown And she came through shanty town Like a queen without a crown And her name was Ruby Brown, oh yeah Long about ten years ago She disappeared, why no one knows But some say she was running for her life' Cause a mean looking man in a limousine Came down from New Orleans He said he came here looking for his wife And her name was Ruby Brown And she came through shanty town Like a queen without a crown And her name was Ruby Brown, oh yeah Some say he beat her bad' Til she just went plain mad But I say, she went where he could never go And her name was Ruby Brown And she came through shanty town Like a queen without a crown And her name was Ruby Brown, oh yeah Ruby Brown Ruby Brown Ruby Brown
