You came here from the country
You left your Pa and your Ma
And do you remember what you told them
You wouldn't come to no harm, yeah

But they kept on kidding you
You had to show them didn't you

Big City Miss Ruth Ann
Didn't you say that anybody can
Be exactly what you want a man
Big City Miss Ruth Ann

Did you go back home, girl
What did the people say
Seeing you in all those fine clothes

Since you went away, yeah
City lights been fitting you
You had to show them, didn't you?

Big City Miss Ruth Ann
Didn't you say that anybody can
Be exactly what you want a man
Big City Miss Ruth Ann

But I bet your getting lonely
Only you can cry
'Cause you're a big city girl now
So kiss the country goodbye, yeah

City lights been fitting you
You really showed them, hey didn't you

Big City Miss Ruth Ann
Didn't you say that anybody can
Be exactly what you want a man
Big City Miss Ruth Ann
