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