I´ve got a girl and Ruby is her name
She don´t love me but I love her just the same
Ruby, Ruby, how I want you
Like a ghost I´m gonna haunt you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?

Oh, each time I see my baby my heart cries
I´m gonna steal her away from all those guys
From the sunny day I met you
Made a bet that I would get you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?

I´ve got a girl and Ruby is her name
She don´t love me but I love her just the same
Ruby, Ruby, how I want you
Like a ghost I´m gonna haunt you,
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine, be mine, be mine?

Each time I see my baby my heart cries
I´m going to steal you away from all those guys
From the sunny day I met you
Made a bet that I would get you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?

I´ve got a girl and Ruby is her name
I, I´d go out just to get her all the same
Got some loving money too
Gonna give it all to you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?
