Ruby, oh, Ruby
Honey, are you mad? Honey, are you mad?
Honey, are you mad at your man?
Well, I'm goin' downtown, gonna get me a jug of brandy
Gonna give it all to Mandy, keep her drunk and boozy
Good drunk and boozy, good drunk and boozy all the time
Well, if you say so, then I'll railroad no more
I'll just hang around your shanty
Hang around your shanty, hang around your shanty all the time
Ruby, oh, Ruby
Honey, are you mad? Honey, are you mad?
Honey, are you mad at your man?
Oh well, I'm walkin' on down, till my shoes are getting' ragged
But you get me down to Nashville
Get me down to Nashville, get me down to Nashville, Tennessee
Honey, are you mad? Honey, are you mad?
Honey, are you mad at your man?
Ruby, oh, Ruby
Come on home
