When the child screamed from life's first slap

You'll never meet a day that isn't cruel"

And she wrapped her babe in a petticoat, grabbed a bottle and made a toast

Ruby Jewel
[VERSE 3]
F#7
In done-up hair and a borrowed dress she climbed the stairs scared to death
Fb B7 F#7
Said a prayer and tiptoed through the door

But on deaf ears her prayer fell 'cause through a tear she stared at hell
Fb B7 F#7
Standing there in nothing but his drawers

She recognized the whiskered chin

Bloodshot eyes and foul-mouthed grin

He was the man who wore the silver star

And said "Hon you won't get very far"

[VERSE 4]
F#7
Ruby Jewel woke up in bed a crimson pool between her legs
Fb B7 F#7
Naked as the day that she was born
F#7
But lying there next to him made her wish she hadn't been
Fb B7 F#7
If this was all that living had in store
C#7
Making sure he was asleep
C#7
She quietly got to her feet
C#7
Found his gun and aimed it between his eyes
F#7
She kept it there til he came to so he could stare down the barrel too
Fb B7 F#7
Pulled the trigger once and watched him die
[CHORUS]

And everybody sang and danced in the saloon

Ruby Jewel
[VERSE 5]
F#7
On a rainy night in 1912 locked inside the town's new jail
Fb B7 F#7
Ruby carved a message in the stone
F#7
When morning came hacks lead her out in ankle chains right through the crowd
Fb B7 F#7
Who waited in the mud to watch the show
C#7
They walked her up the gallows steps
C#7
And put the rope around her neck
C#7
Dropped the trap as all the watchers cheered
F#7
But on the wall of a cell in a tiny scrawl and misspelled
Fb B7 F#7
Were the words "Ruby Jewel Was Here"
[CHORUS]
B7 F#7
And the man at the piano played a tune
B7 F#7
And everybody sang and danced in the saloon

Except Ruby (Ruby)
B7
No not Ruby (Ruby)
