Allison Moorer - Ruby Jewel Was Here
LRC by lzh ,from jiangxi pingxiang

In nineteen and double-aught
A harlot who was hot to trot
Gave a fine little bijou to the world
With a blacksmith for a makeshift doc
In a cathouse far from Camelot
Her gold mine brought to bed a baby girl
When the child screamed from life's first slap
The bawd said kid get used to that
You'll never meet a day that isn't cruel
Then she wrapped her babe in a petticoat
Grabbed a bottle and made a toast
Here's to my gorgeous bastard Ruby Jewel
And the man at the piano played a tune
And everybody sang and danced in the saloon
Except Ruby, no not Ruby, Ruby Jewel
Reared among the guttersnipe
While her mama puffed the Chinese pipe
The salad days for Ruby didn't last
Forced to work and pay her dues
Inside that poor man's Moulin Rouge
The snot-nosed

[00:14.00]
[00:15.90]In nineteen and double-aught
[00:18.69]A harlot who was hot to trot
[00:21.09]Gave a fine little bijou to the world
[00:26.12]With a blacksmith for a makeshift doc
[00:28.78]In a cathouse far from Camelot
[00:31.66]Her gold mine brought to bed a baby girl
[00:36.85]When the child screamed from life's first slap
[00:39.77]The bawd said kid get used to that
[00:42.12]You'll never meet a day that isn't cruel
[00:47.82]Then she wrapped her babe in a petticoat
[00:50.16]Grabbed a bottle and made a toast
[00:52.77]Here's to my gorgeous bastard Ruby Jewel
[00:57.79]And the man at the piano played a tune
[01:02.91]And everybody sang and danced in the saloon
[01:08.82]Except Ruby, no not Ruby, Ruby Jewel
[01:13.77]Reared among the guttersnipe
[01:19.01]While her mama puffed the Chinese pipe
[01:24.48]The salad days for Ruby didn't last
[01:29.60]Forced to work and pay her dues
[01:32.39]Inside that poor man's Moulin Rouge
[01:34.99]The snot-nosed kid had to grow up fast
[01:40.08]Night and day she'd toil and sweat
[01:42.90]While brothel patrons placed their bets
[01:45.40]On who would be the first to break her in
[01:50.21]Then one night the madam screams
[01:53.65]Ruby get to room thirteen
[01:56.15]There's someone there who thinks you're quite a gem
[02:01.50]And the man at the piano played a tune
[02:06.37]And everybody sang and danced in the saloon
[02:11.50]Except Ruby no not Ruby Ruby Jewel
[02:22.12]In done up hair and a borrowed dress
[02:24.99]She climbed the stares scared to death
[02:27.48]Said a prayer and tip-toed through the door
[02:32.72]But on deaf ears her prayer fell
[02:35.36]Cause through her tears she stared at hell
[02:38.08]Standing there in nothing but his drawers
[02:43.13]She recognized the whiskered chin
[02:46.11]Bloodshot eyes and foul-mouthed grin
[02:48.69]He was the man who wore the silver star
[02:54.38]She tried to turn around and run
[02:56.85]But he pulled out his big six gun
[02:59.43]And said whore you won't get very far
[03:04.58]And the man at the piano played a tune
[03:09.50]And everybody sang and danced in the saloon
[03:14.90]Except Ruby, no not Ruby, Ruby Jewel
[03:25.21]Ruby Jewel woke up in bed
[03:28.76]A crimson pool between her legs
[03:31.08]Naked as the day that she was born
[03:36.29]But lying there next to him
[03:38.94]Made her wish she hadn't been
[03:41.47]If this was all that living had in store
[03:46.69]Making sure he was asleep
[03:49.44]She quietly got to her feet
[03:52.01]Found his gun and aimed it 'tween his eyes
[03:57.23]She kept it there 'til he came to
[03:59.80]So he could stare down the barrel too
[04:02.34]Pulled the trigger once and watched him die
[04:07.63]And the man at the piano played a tune
[04:12.55]And everybody sang and danced in the saloon
[04:18.50]Except Ruby no not Ruby Ruby Jewel
[04:28.59]On a rainy night in nineteen-twelve
[04:31.59]Locked inside the town's new jail
[04:34.36]Ruby carved a message in the stone
[04:39.42]When morning came hacks led her out
[04:42.26]In ankle chains right through the crowd
[04:44.76]Who waited in the mud to watch the show
[04:49.86]They walked her up the gallows steps
[04:52.75]But the rope around her neck
[04:55.44]Dropped the trap as all the watchers cheered
[05:00.30]But on the wall of her cell
[05:03.29]In a tiny scrawl and misspelled
[05:05.86]Were the words Ruby Jewel Was Here
[05:10.74]And the man at the piano played a tune
[05:15.84]And everybody sang and danced in the saloon
[05:21.50]Except Ruby, no not Ruby, Ruby Jewel
[05:30.42]
