EWell i took my ruby jupin on a dance in the town
She took her high heels off and and let her stockings down
She put a qAuarter in the jukebox to get a little beat
EverybEody started dancin` on the rythmn of her feet
AShes my rock and roll ruby
Erock and roll ruby
When ruB7by starts a rocking it satisfies my soEul
Well ruby started rocking bout one O`clock
And when she started rocking she just couldnt stop
She rocked on the tabels and she rocked on the floor
When everybody yelling ruby rock some more
Chours
It was round about 4 and i thought she would stop
She looked at me and then she looked at the clock
She said wait a minute daddy now dont you get soul all i wanna do i rock a little bit more
Chours
One night my ruby left me all alone
I tried to contact her on the telephone
I finnaly found her bout 12 O`clock
She said leave me alone daddy cause your ruby wants to rock
Chours

The story behind the song

Johnny Cash was known for his distinctive bass-baritone voice and the train-like chugging guitar rhythms of his backing band, the Tennessee Three. While much of his music explores themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, he also rose to fame in the rockabilly scene. This song, appearing on "The Sun Years" release, captures some of that early rockabilly energy.
