Ruby

lyrics

Oh Ruby you left me with a horse in the pantry
Four homely children out bustin' in the fields

The gambler came for my cash
We got into a shooting match
He hit my leg, I shot his face
Few inches to the right it would have been a real bad place

The horse I named Lucile
Packed all the oats the kids could steal
Then we headed for the mountains
Being chased by Sheriff Beale

A pint of liquor in my pocket
And another in my belly
I been drinking all day
My teeth are rotten and my head it just ain't right.

I woke up in some prison
Nursing wounds from a fight
Yeah I'm sure they think I killed you
Long ago that autumn night

There's no use in trying to run
Yeah I know they'll track me down
So I will live as the outlaw
Who put you in the ground
