Her name was ruby mae
She danced the cabaret
Such a lovely girl was she
That ruby mae

In the open window breeze
She pulled her stockings
Above her knees
Such a lovely girl was she
That ruby mae

On a lonely winter night
I followed her under christmas lights

So low down was I
To ruby mae

In the bitter morning air
I hid her body there
In the heart of old times square
So she'd not lose her way

Her name was ruby mae
She danced the cabaret
Such a lovely girl was she
