Intro: | (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
