Ruby she was a red-necked beauty
She loved Little Richard and sang Tutti Frutti
She wanted her name in lights and wore her dresses tight

Yeah, Ruby was a victim of circumstance
Cause she liked to wiggle and boogie dance
Out in the country she hardly ever got the chance

She had a local band, played the local bars
Had the local boys breathin' hard
She had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark
She had a country soul and a rock and roll heart

And her whole body shook when she stood up
And played the piano
And the boys said...

Play Ruby, play, we really like the way you do it
Play Ruby, play, we love the way you get into it
She made the young men scream and the old men moan
Rock on, rock on, rock on

Mmmmmm...mmmmm...
Mmmmmm...mmmmm...

Sometimes at night with the full moon beaming
She would run around the mountain kicking and screaming, saying
If I don't get out on the road, I'm gonna explode

Last time I saw her she was down in the city
Shaking and shouting and making plenty
Ruby was a sight to behold, she was on a roll

She had a local band, played the local bars
Had the local boys breathin' hard
She had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark
She had a country soul and a rock and roll heart

And her whole body shook when she stood up
And played the piano
And the boys said...

Play Ruby, play, we really like the way you do it
Play Ruby, play, we love the way you get into it
She made the young men scream and the old men moan
Rock on, rock on, rock on

Rock on, rock on, rock on

Yeah, Ruby she was a red-necked beauty
She loved Little Richard and sang Tutti Frutti
Mmm...
