She danced in the dirty streets Satin shoes tied to her feet People round here said she was a sight Every night when the sun went down She`d curtsy and take a bow To the man in the moon and the dim street lights We held in high regard The rose in the mission yard Singing, "Buffalo Gals won`t you come out tonight
And her name was Ruby Brown And she came through shanty town Like a queen without a crown And her name was Ruby Brown
Long about ten years ago She disappeared, why no one knows But some say she was running for her life `Cause a mean looking man in a limousine Came down from New Orleans He said he came here looking for his wife
And her name was Ruby Brown And she came through shanty town Like a queen without a crown And her name was Ruby Brown
Some say he beat her bad `Till she just went plain mad But I say she went where he could never go
And her name was Ruby Brown And she came through shanty town Like a queen without a crown And her name was Ruby Brown
