Rock and Roll Ruby - Johnny Cash

Well I took my Ruby juking

On the out-skirts of town

She took her high heels off

And rolled her stockings down

She put a quarter in the jukebox

To get a little beat

Everybody started watching

All the rhythm in her feet

She’s my rock and roll Ruby, rock and roll

Rock and roll Ruby, rock and roll

When Ruby starts a-rocking

Boy it satisfies my soul

Now Ruby started rocking about one o’clock

And when she started rocking

She just couldn’t stop

She rocked on the tables

And rolled on the floor

And Everybody yelled: «Ruby rock some more!»

It was around about four

I thought she would stop

She looked at me and then

She looked at the clock

She said: «Wait a minute Daddy

Now don’t get sour

All I want to do

Is rock a little bit more»

One night my Ruby left me all alone

I tried to contact her on the telephone

I finally found her about twelve o’clock

She said: «Leave me alone Daddy

Because your Ruby wants to rock»

Rock, rock, rock and roll

When Ruby starts a-rocking

Boy it satisfies my soul
