Big old Ruby Red Dress wanders 'round the town,
talking to herself now, sometimes sitting down
Don't you get too close now, Ruby runs away
Poor old Ruby Red Dress born on a sorry day -- I can hear her say:
(Chorus:)
|: Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Please leave me alone now, leave me alone
[Oh/God] leave me alone, [please/just] leave me alone
[Yes/Oh] leave me, leave me! :|
Big old Ruby Red Dress, everybody laughs,
say she's got no future and never made no past
Something hurt that Ruby, something she can't bear
You look at her real close now, you see a little tear -- when she says now:
Chorus
Instrumental

taught it all to Ruby, then just let her be
Her daddy tried to hide it, tried to keep things cool
But something happened to Ruby, she broke down to her fool -- who just said now:
Chorus
