Ruby Still Falls (Milan Miller)
Ruby Still Falls

If you ever go up to Ruby Falls
There’s some things you oughta know
Some tell it like a legend- a tragic tale
From a time long ago
Ruby’s still there falling with the water
Down a hundred feet below
Her ghost is there- can’t go nowhere
As long as the falls still flow

Cause Ruby fell hard for a man from Kentucky
When she should have been falling for me
Now that man from Kentucky he’s a long time gone
But Ruby still falls for me
Yes, Ruby still falls for me

Now Ruby she up and gave her heart
To a boy from Bowling Green
I followed him down to Moccasin Bend
Since then he ain’t been seen
So I pledged my love to Ruby
Swore I’d treat her like a queen
The chance she would deny me
Till then was unforeseen

Cause Ruby fell hard for a man from Kentucky
When she should have been falling for me
Now that man from Kentucky he’s a long time gone
But Ruby still falls for me
Yes, Ruby still falls for me

The sheriff he never knew for sure
What happened on that night
Did Ruby jump or was she pushed
Down from that terrible height
Most round here- they don’t go near
It gives them a horrible fright
But for the one who longed to claim her love
The falls are a beautiful sight

Cause Ruby fell hard for a man from Kentucky
When she should have been falling for me
Now that man from Kentucky he’s a long time gone
But Ruby still falls for me
Yes, Ruby still falls for me
