| Lyrics |
She danced in the dirty streets
Satin shoes tied to her feet
People round here said she was a sight
Every night when the sun went down
She'd curtsy, and take a bow
To the man in the moon and the dim street lights
We held in high regard
The rose in the mission yard
Singing, "
Buffalo Gals won't you come out tonight"
And her name was Ruby Brown
And she cam through shanty town
Like a queen without a crown
And her name was Ruby Brown
Long about ten years ago
She disappeared, why no one knows
But some say she was running for her life'
Cause a mean looking man in a limousine
Came down from New Orleans
He said he came here looking for his wife
And her name was Ruby Brown
And she cam through shanty town
Like a queen without a crown
And her name was Ruby Brown
Some was he beat her bad'
Til she just went plain mad
But I say she went where he could never go
And her name was Ruby Brown
And she cam through shanty town
Like a queen without a crown
And her name was Ruby Brown
