Ruby Lee - Fritz Kalkbrenner

Staring at shadows on the wall

Wish I knew of someone I could call

Someone who might understand it all

Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me

Someone lying with me in my bed

Some stranger who don’t understand my head

Wish it was you lying here instead

Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me

Drowning in a sea of pretty faces

Being quite the man about the town

Packing up and going pretty places

But I sure miss you around

Listen to the noises down the hall

Think I’ll move out of here in the fall

Ain’t exactly having me a ball

Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me

Drowning in a sea of pretty faces

Being quite the man about the town

Packing up and going pretty places

But I sure miss you around

Listen to the noises down the hall

Wishin' there was someone out to call

Ain’t exactly having me a ball

Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me
