C         G7                C
Ravishing Ruby she's been a-round for a while
          G7             C
Ravishing Ruby she was a truck stop child
                                     F
Born in the back of a rig  somewhere near L.A.
          C                 G7                C
Ravishing Ruby you poured a lot of hot coffee in your day

          G7              C
Ravishing Ruby believe anything you say
              G7                       C
Just like her daddy said  said he'd be back some day
                                   F
She was just fourteen  she grew up wild and free
            C                          G7
And all the time she'd been waiting on him
                      C
She'd been waiting on you and me

          F                    C
Ravishing Ruby she sleeps in a bunk out back
             G7
Her days and nights are filled with dreams
               C
Of a man named Smiling Jack
             F                               C
That was her daddy's name and that's all she ever knew
          G7                                C
Ravishing Ruby ain't got time for guys like me and you

          G7               C
Ravishing Ruby a beautiful young girl now
          G7              C
Ravishing Ruby she made a solemn vow
                                    F
Waiting on Smiling Jack  he'll come rolling by
                 C                    G7
And she wants to see him she wants to touch him
           C
Either way dead or alive
