Ruby Brown Lyrics - Everything's Gonna Be Alright - Deana Carter

She danced in the dirty streets 

Satin shoes tied to her feet 

People 'round here said she was a sight 

Every night when the sun went down 

She'd curtsy and take a bow 

To the man in the moon and the dim street lights 

We held in high regard 

The rose in the mission yard 

Singing, "Buffalo Gals won't you come out tonight?" 

And her name was Ruby Brown 

And she came through shanty town 

Like a queen without a crown 

And her name was Ruby Brown, oh yeah 

Long about ten years ago 

She disappeared, why no one knows 

But some say she was running for her life 

'Cause a mean looking man in a limousine 

Came down from New Orleans 

He said he came here looking for his wife 

And her name was Ruby Brown 

And she came through shanty town 

Like a queen without a crown 

And her name was Ruby Brown, oh yeah 

Some say he beat her bad 

'Til she just went plain mad 

But I say, she went where he could never go 

And her name was Ruby Brown 

And she came through shanty town 

Like a queen without a crown 

And her name was Ruby Brown, oh yeah 

Ruby Brown 

Ruby Brown 

Ruby Brown
