Intro.: | (D) (Em) | (G) | (D) (Em) | (G) |
(Bm) She danced in the (D)dirty streets, (G) satin shoes tied (D) to her feet
(Bm) People 'round here (D)said she was a sight (G)
(Bm) Every night when the (D)sun went down, she'd (G)curtsy and (D)take a bow
To the (Bm)man in the moon (D) and the dim street (G) lights
(A) We held in high regard, (Em) the rose in the mission yard
Singin', (G)"Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight"
And her (D)name was Ru-(Em)by Brown (G)
And she (D)came through shan-(Em)ty-town (G)
Like a (Em)queen with-(F#m)out a crown (G)
And her (D)name was (Em)Ruby Brown, (G) oh yeah (D) (Em) (G)
(Bm) Long about ten (D)years ago, (G) she disappeared, why (D)no one knows
(Bm) But some say she was (D)runnin' for her life (G)
(A) 'Cause a mean lookin' man in a limousine (Em) came down from New Orleans
He said he (G)came here lookin' for his wife
And her (D)name was (Em)Ruby Brown (G)
And she (D)came through (Em)shanty town (G)
Like a (Em)queen with-(F#m)out a crown (G)
And her (D)name was (Em)Ruby Brown, (G) oh yeah
Inst.: | (D) (Em) | (G) | (D) (Em) | (G) |
(A) Some say he beat her bad (Em) 'til she just went plain mad
But (G)I say she went where he could never go
And her (D)name was (Em)Ruby Brown (G)
And she (D)came through (Em)shanty town (G)
Like a (Em) queen with-(F#m)out a crown (G)
And her name (D) was (Em)Ruby (F#m)Brown, (G) oh yeah
