 B minorBm          D MajorD        G+G         D MajorD
She danced in the dirty streets, satin shoes tied to her feet

 B minorBm          D MajorD           G+G
People 'round here said she was a sight


 B minorBm           D MajorD           G+G      D MajorD
Every night when the sun went down, she'd curtsy and take a bow

    B minorBm         D MajorD          G+G
To the man in the moon and the dim street lights

 A augmentedA             E minorEm
We held in high regard, the rose in the mission yard

     G+G
Singin', "Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight"


     D MajorD       E minorEm     G+G
And her name was Ru- by Brown

     D MajorD          E minorEm     G+G
And she came through shan- ty-town

    E minorEm       F# minorF#m       G+G
Like a queen with- out a crown

     D MajorD     E minorEm       G+G     D MajorD  E minorEm  G+G
And her name was Ruby Brown, oh yeah


 B minorBm        D MajorD      G+G           D MajorD
Long about ten years ago, she disappeared, why no one knows

 B minorBm           D MajorD           G+G
But some say she was runnin' for her life


 A augmentedA                     E minorEm
'Cause a mean lookin' man in a limousine came down from New Orleans

      G+G
He said he came here lookin' for his wife

     D MajorD     E minorEm      G+G
And her name was Ruby Brown

     D MajorD       E minorEm       G+G
And she came through shanty town

    E minorEm       F# minorF#m       G+G
Like a queen with- out a crown

     D MajorD     E minorEm       G+G
And her name was Ruby Brown, oh yeah


 | (D MajorD) (E minorEm) | (G+G) | (D MajorD) (E minorEm) | (G+G) |

 A augmentedA             E minorEm
Some say he beat her bad 'til she just went plain mad

   G+G
But I say she went where he could never go


     D MajorD     E minorEm      G+G
And her name was Ruby Brown

     D MajorD       E minorEm       G+G
And she came through shanty town

    E minorEm       F# minorF#m       G+G
Like a queen with- out a crown

       D MajorD   E minorEm   F# minorF#m    G+G
And her name was Ruby Brown, oh yeah
