Jimmy Cliff - Ruby Soho lyrics

Echoes of reggae comin' through
My bedroom wall
Havin' a party up next door but
I'm sittin here all alone
Two lovers in the bedroom and
The other starts to shout
All I got is this blank stare and
That don't carry no clout at all

Destination unknown
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho

Destination unknown
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho

He's singin and she's there to lend a hand
He's seen his name on the marquee
But she will never understand
Once again he's leavin' and she's there
With a tear in her eye
Embraces with a warm gesture it's time
Time to say goodbye

Destination unknown
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho

Destination unknown
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho

Ruby's heart ain't beatin cause she
Knows the feelin' is gone
She's not the only one who
Knew there's somethin' wrong
Her lover's in the distance as she
Wipes a tear from her eye
Ruby's fading out, she disappears, it's time
Time to say goodbye destination unknown
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho

Destination unknown
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho

Destination unknown
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho)
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho

Destination unknown
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho)
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby soho
