Ruby, my sweet Ruby,
I told her not to go,
first time that I shot her
I shot her in the toe,
Rubys gone, one more round, Rubys gone

next time that I shot her
I aimed right at her head,
when the smoke had cleared away
Ruby lay there dead,
Rubys gone, one more round, Rubys gone

next day at my hangin'
I was danglin' from the rope,
I thought I saw my Ruby,
she was laughin' like she heard a joke,
Rubys gone, one more round, Rubys gone....
