play, ruby, play

well

ruby

she was a redneck beauty

she loved little richard and sang 'tootie fruitie'

and wanted her name in lights and wore her dresses tight

yeah

ruby was a victim of circumstance

'cause she liked to wiggle and boogie dance

out in the country she hardly ever got the chance

she had a local band

played the local bars

had the local boys breathin' hard

she had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark

she had a country soul and a rock 'n' roll heart

and her whole body shook when she stood up and played the piano

and the boys say

play
