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