In Nineteen and Double-Aught A harlot who was hot to trot Gave a fine little bijoux to the world With a blacksmith for a makeshift doc In a cat house far from Camelot Her goldmine brought to bear a baby girlWhen the child screamed from life's first slap The boss said, "Kid, get used to that You'll never meet a day that isn't cruel" And she wrapped her babe in a petticoat Grabbed a bottle and made a toast Here's to my gorgeous bastard, Ruby JewelAnd the man at the piano played a tune And everybody sang and danced in the saloon Except Ruby (Ruby) No, not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby JewelReared among the guttersnipe While her mama puffed a Chinese pipe The salad days for Ruby didn't last Forced to work and pay her dues Inside that poor man's Moulin Rouge A snot-nosed kid had to grow up fastNight and day she toiled 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 (Ruby) No, not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby JewelIn done-up hair and a borrowed dress She climbed the stairs scared to death Said a prayer and tiptoed through the door But on deaf ears her prayer fell 'Cause through a tear she stared at hell Standing there in nothing but his drawersShe 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, "Hon, 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 (Ruby) No, not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby JewelRuby Jewel woke up in bed A crimson pool between her legs Naked as the day she was born But lying there next to him Made her wish she hadn't been If this was all that living had in storeMaking sure he was asleep She quietly got to her feet Found his gun and aimed it between 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 dieAnd the man at the piano played a tune And everybody sang and danced in the saloon Except Ruby (Ruby) No, not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby JewelOn a rainy night in nineteen twelve Locked inside the town's new jail Ruby carved a message in the stone When morning came, hacks lead her out In ankle chains right through the crowd Who waited in the mud to watch the showThey walked her up the gallows steps Put the rope around her neck Dropped the trap as all the watchers cheered But on the wall of a 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 (Ruby) No, not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby Jewel
