  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 kid had to grow up fast

  Night and day she'd toil and sweat

  While brothel patrons placed their bets

  On who would be the first to break her in

  Then one night the madam screams

  Ruby get to room thirteen

  There's someone there who thinks you're quite a gem

  And the man at the piano played a tune

  And everybody sang and danced in the saloon

  Except Ruby no not Ruby Ruby Jewel

  In done up hair and a borrowed dress

  She climbed the stares scared to death

  Said a prayer and tip-toed through the door

  But on deaf ears her prayer fell

  Cause through her tears she stared at hell

  Standing there in nothing but his drawers

  She recognized the whiskered chin

  Bloodshot eyes and foul-mouthed grin

  He was the man who wore the silver star

  She tried to turn around and run

  But he pulled out his big six gun

  And said whore you won't get very far

  And the man at the piano played a tune

  And everybody sang and danced in the saloon

  Except Ruby, no not Ruby, Ruby Jewel

  Ruby Jewel woke up in bed

  A crimson pool between her legs

  Naked as the day that she was born

  But lying there next to him

  Made her wish she hadn't been

  If this was all that living had in store

  Making sure he was asleep

  She quietly got to her feet

  Found his gun and aimed it 'tween his eyes

  She kept it there 'til he came to

  So he could stare down the barrel too

  Pulled the trigger once and watched him die

  And the man at the piano played a tune

  And everybody sang and danced in the saloon

  Except Ruby no not Ruby Ruby Jewel

  On a rainy night in nineteen-twelve

  Locked inside the town's new jail

  Ruby carved a message in the stone

  When morning came hacks led her out

  In ankle chains right through the crowd

  Who waited in the mud to watch the show

  They walked her up the gallows steps

  But the rope around her neck

  Dropped the trap as all the watchers cheered

  But on the wall of her cell

  In a tiny scrawl and misspelled

  Were the words Ruby Jewel Was Here

  And the man at the piano played a tune

  And everybody sang and danced in the saloon

  Except Ruby, no not Ruby, Ruby Jewel
