| (D) (Em) | (G)  | (D) (Em) | (G)  |

 Bm                   D                G                  D
She danced in the dirty streets, satin shoes tied to her feet

 Bm                    D                      G
People 'round here said she was a sight


 Bm                      D                      G            D
Every night when the sun went down, she'd curtsy and take a bow

        Bm                 D                    G
To the man in the moon and the dim street lights

 A                         Em
We held in high regard, the rose in the mission yard

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


         D              Em          G
And her name was Ru- by Brown

         D                    Em         G
And she came through shan- ty-town

        Em             F#m             G
Like a queen with- out a crown

         D          Em             G         D   Em    G
And her name was Ruby Brown, oh yeah


 Bm                D            G                      D
Long about ten years ago, she disappeared, why no one knows

 Bm                      D                      G
But some say she was runnin' for her life


 A                                          Em
'Cause a mean lookin' man in a limousine came down from New Orleans

            G
He said he came here lookin' for his wife


         D          Em            G
And her name was Ruby Brown

         D              Em             G
And she came through shanty town

        Em             F#m             G
Like a queen with- out a crown

         D          Em             G
And her name was Ruby Brown, oh yeah


 | (D) (Em) | (G)  | (D) (Em) | (G)  |

 A                          Em
Some say he beat her bad 'til she just went plain mad

     G
But I say she went where he could never go


         D          Em            G
And her name was Ruby Brown

         D              Em             G
And she came through shanty town

        Em             F#m             G
Like a queen with- out a crown

              D     Em      F#m        G
And her name was Ruby Brown, oh yeah
