Ruby, My Dear

Ruby, my dear,
Hold back that tear,
I know he’s gone,
Your love has flown, you’re all alone.

Oh, I know you cry,
There’s no reply,
Pain lingers on,
It doesn’t go, cause you say so.

One day he came to you,
And made the music play, in his way.
You said you’d rather die,
Than say goodbye.

But there’ll come a day,
Though he’s away,
You’ll sing his song,
You’ll carry on, Ruby, my dear.
