Original lyrics
ENRavishing Ruby she'd been around for a while
Ravishing Ruby she was a truckstop child
Born in the back of a rig somewhere near L.A.
Ravishing Ruby you poured a lotta hot coffee in your day.
Ravishing Ruby believe anything you say
Just like her daddy said said he'd be back some day
She was just fourteen she grew up wild and free
And all the time she's been waitin' on him she's been waitin' on you and me.
Ravishing Ruby she sleeps in the bunkyard back
Her days and nights're filled with dreams of a man named Smiling 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 Smiling Jack he'll come rolling by
And she wants to see him she wants to touch him either way dead or alive.
Ravishing Ruby she sleeps in the bunkyard back
Her days and nights're filled with dreams of a man named Smiling 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...
