Baby Ruth - Lyrics by John Prine


Lyrics

Well it's sure good to see you
But my how you've changed
Since the last time i saw you
Girl you've been rearranged
I always said your people
Were just like my kin
When i was down and out
They would always take me in

Chorus:
Oh i love you my baby ruth
Never lie to you
I only tell the truth
Oh i love you since you were a child
Every time i see you girl
You always raise a smile

I was living out on the highway
You didn't turn me out
I lived in your closet
And you fed me by mouth
My boots were my pillow
Wrapped under my head
I kept all my stuff
Stashed out under your bed
