[Tom T. Hall - Ravishing Ruby lyrics]

Ravishing Ruby, she'd been around for awhile
Ravishing Ruby, she was a truck stop child
Born in the back of a rig somewhere near LA
Ravishing Ruby
You poured a lot of hot coffee in your day
Ravishing Ruby, believe anything you say
Just like her daddy said
He said he'd be back someday
She was just fourteen
She grew up wild and free
And all the time she'd be waitin' on him
She'd been waiting on you and me

Ravishing Ruby, she sleeps in a bunk out back
Her days and nights were filled
With dreams of a man named Smilin' Jack
That was her daddy's name and
That's all she ever knew
Ravishing Ruby ain't got time for
Guys like me and you

Ravishing Ruby, a beautiful young girl now
Ravishing Ruby, she made a solemn vow
Waitin' on Smilin' Jack
He'll come rollin' by
And she wants to see him
She wants to touch him either way
Dead or alive
