Big ol' ruby red dress, wanders round the town
Talkin to herself now, sometimes sitten down
Don't you get too close now, ruby runs away
Poor ol' ruby red dress born on a sorry day
I can hear her say

Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Just leave me alone now, leave me alone
Oh leave me alone, please leave me alone, yes leave me
Leave me alone won't you leave me alone
Just leave me alone, no leave me alone
Oh leave me along, just leave me alone, ah leave me

Big ole ruby red dress, everybody laughs
Say she's got no future, and never made no past
Something hurt that ruby, shomething she can't bear
Ya look at her real close now, you see a little tear

When she says now

Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Just leave me alone now, leave me alone
Oh leave me alone, please leave me alone, yes leave me
Leave me alone won't you leave me alone
Just leave me alone, no leave me alone
Oh leave me along, please leave me alone, ah leave me

Some folks say some farm boy, up from Tennessee
Taught it all to Ruby, then just let her be
Her daddy tried to hide it, tried to keep things cool
But something happened to Ruby, she broke down to a fool

who just said now

Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Just leave me alone now, leave me alone
Oh leave me alone, just leave me alone, yes leave me
Leave me alone won't you leave me alone
Just leave me alone, no leave me alone
Oh leave me along, please leave me alone, ah leave me
Leave me alone
