Ruby Dean Lyrics & Chords By Bobby Womack

Mother
Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma my Mother
Ya underestimate such a child
the trouble was only three
I still had had eyes-- Oh, I could see
I could'nt respect your mama
That's why I called you -- called you by your first name
I said Ru - by -- Ru - by Dean
Don't take your love to town

Whooaaahh, Ruby Dean -- No, No
Don't take your love to town -- don't do it now
cause I can't stand to hear the screen door slam
I know leaving me -- why can't you let it be
You're everything to me -- just too blind too see
True Ruby Dean -- please stop doing my dad this way -- Yeahh
Don't take your love to town

Ruu-by don't take your love to town
He breeds you and me far as the eyes can see
Let my dad go free --
Don't mind you doin' it to me Ruby Dean
You've been good to me -- why don't you let him be
Please Ruby Dean -- Oh Ruby Dean
Ohhhhh Oh Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby Dean
You take your love to town
Ruuu- by Deeean -- Don't take your love to town
Whoaaa Whoa Yeah
Don't take your love to town

Why don't ya spend a little
more time around your home
I can look in my dad's eyes
I can see that he's tired of being alone
Ruby Ruby Dean
