Allison Moorer - Ruby Jewel Was Here
LRC by lzh ,from jiangxi pingxiang

In nineteen and double-aught
A harlot who was hot to trot
Gave a fine little bijou to the world
With a blacksmith for a makeshift doc
In a cathouse far from Camelot
Her gold mine brought to bed a baby girl
When the child screamed from life"s first slap
The bawd said kid get used to that
You"ll never meet a day that isn"t cruel
Then she wrapped her babe in a petticoat
Grabbed a bottle and made a toast
Here"s to my gorgeous bastard Ruby Jewel
And the man at the piano played a tune
And everybody sang and danced in the saloon
Except Ruby, no not Ruby, Ruby Jewel
Reared among the guttersnipe
While her mama puffed the Chinese pipe
The salad days for Ruby didn"t last
Forced to work and pay her dues
Inside that poor man"s Moulin Rouge
The snot-nosed
