Ruby Ann

Far across the deep blue sea out in sunny Tennessee
Is where my darlin waits for me Ruby Ann
This old war has brought me here I’ve been gone for three long years
Now I’m counting down the days Ruby Ann

Diamonds placed in a golden band
Until it’s shining on her hand
I’ll be dreaming of her lips so sweet
I’m coming home Ruby Ann

All the hardships that I’ve seen while I’m fighting for our dreams
Oh your love is all I need Ruby Ann
As the bullets start to fly you are always on my mind
No I can never return Ruby Ann

Diamonds placed in a golden band
Until It’s shining on her hand
I’ll be dreaming of her lips so sweet
I’m coming home Ruby Ann

The rain it starts to pour the battle flag it waves once more
And I’m fighting for our lives Ruby Ann
As the bullets pierce my skin I am crying out again
With my final breath I call out Ruby Ann

Diamonds placed in a golden band
Will never reach her loving hand
Until we’ll meet on heaven's shore
I’m going home Ruby Ann
