Early morning whistle stop
Beside a depot coaling lot
A trainman finds a smiling face
A ruby girl in shining grace
Alone...
Ruby Mae
He takes her to his modest home
To bathe and feed and call his own
He didn’t know her history
Or what she would grow up to be
Who knew...?
Ruby Mae
Who knew...?
Rollin’ on, Ruby Mae
She never knew what school entailed
But loved to go and ride the rails
A dining car she’d sit with “Dad”
And there she learned the gift she had
For song...
Ruby Mae
All along the ivories
Her hands would roll with perfect ease
Down the line she’d play her muse
Boogie, dixie, delta blues
Play on...
Ruby Mae
Play on...
Rollin’ on, Ruby Mae
Rollin’ on, Ruby Mae
Up and down the railway towns
The people came from miles around
To hear the swingin’ gospel sound
And bless the girl the trainman found
She’s home...
Ruby Mae
She’s home...
Rollin’ on, Ruby Mae
Rollin’ on, Ruby Mae
