[Intro]
Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#
Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#

[Verse 1]
Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#
I met Ruby on a bus from state to state
Am Am
She was tired
Em Em
I was timid
C C G G F# F#
It was late
Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#
She was to marry her southland sweetheart
Am Am Em Em
bitter-sweet I am
C C G G F# F#
when it comes to young love
Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#
James was a well-known man around town
Am Am Em Em
He sold houses to the masses
C C G G F# F#
in the state of Burley Down
Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#
And I saw him leaving slowly with a young man at his hip
Am Am Em Em
Where did my love go?
C C G G F# F#
He was the sailor of my ship


[Interlude]
Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#
Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#

[Verse 2]
Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#
And Jimmy was the best she ever had
Am Am Em Em
When you think you cannot breath
C C G G F# F#
and you know you'd rather die instead
Am Am Em Em
That's when you know you have to go,
C C G G F# F#
and he knew he had to leave
Am Am Em Em
So in the state of where you are
C C
roll up the windows
G G F# F# Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#
saying drive an old blue car
Am Am Em Em
Ruby does he hold you like

he held me so
C C
After, does he rub your back
G G F# F#
and sing ya slow?
Am Am Em Em
Take ya to highest high and
C C G G F# F#
lowest low?
Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#
Oh, Ruby, I don't think so
Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#
James was a well-known man around town
Am Am Em Em
He sold houses to the masses
C C G G F# F#
in the state of Burley Down
Am Am Em Em C C G G F# F#
And I saw him leaving slowly with a young man at his hip
