It don't mean a thing Ruby loves another man But I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail One hundred dollars surely go her bail I been drinking that corn liquor, but you know I love her still I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail Ruby, oh please come home Ruby, oh please come home Got a baby on my knee and hungry mouths to feed Ruby, oh please come home I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail One hundred dollars surely go her bail I've been drinking that corn liquor, but you know I love her still I'm going to get my Ruby out of jail
