ruby mae

her name was ruby mae

she danced the cabaret

such a lovely girl was she

that ruby mae

in the open window breeze

she pulled her stockings

above her knees

such a lovely girl was she

that ruby mae

on a lonely winter night

i followed her under christmas lights

so low down was i

to ruby mae

in the bitter morning air

i hid her body there

in the heart of old times square

so she'd not lose her way

her name was ruby mae

she danced the cabaret

such a lovely girl was she

that ruby mae
