Lyrics Bobby Womack – Ruby Dean

Text:

Mother
Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma my Mother
Ya underestimate such a child
the trouble was only three

I still had had eyes — Oh, I could see
I couldn’t respect your mama
That’s why I called you — called you by your first name
I said Ru — by — Ru — by Dean
Don’t take your love to town
Whooa Ruby Dean — No, No
Don’t take your love to town — don’t do it now
cause I can’t stand to hear the screen door slam
I know leaving me — why can’t you let it be
You’re everything to me — just too blind too see
True ruby dean — please stop doing my dad this way — Yeahh
Don’t take your love to town

Ruu-by don’t take your love to town
He breeds you and me far as the eyes can see
Let my dad go free — don’t mind you doin’ it to me Ruby Dean
been good to me — why don’t you let him be
Please Ruby Dean — Oh Ruby Dean
Ohhhhh Oh Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby Dean
You take your love to town
Ruuu- by Deeean — Don’t take your love to town
Whoaaa Whoa Yeah
Don’t take your love to town
Why don’t ya spend a little more time aro
I can look in my dad’s eyes
I can see that he’s tired of being alone
Ruby Ruby Dean
