RUBY'S HAND

I got three eights with a King on top
Her emerald eyes say it’s not enough
I watch her raise me fifteen grand
I fold my cards – that’s Ruby’s hand

Well she gambles shrewd, she gambles smart
Her poker game, well it’s a work of art
She’s got an entourage of star struck fans
They come to watch her play – that’s Ruby’s hand

Chorus

Her every move is a sight to see
She’s long and lean and just a little mean
She likes her boyfriends fresh and new
I should know I was new once too

She’s never said where she came from
Never talks about her family – she packs a gun
And she samples life in one night stands
She just moves on – that’s Ruby’s hand

Chorus

She told me once “I never pray…
Anything can happen to you any day
Inside these walls I’m tough as any man”
She walked away – that’s Ruby’s hand

Chorus

I got three eights with a King on top
Her emerald eyes say it’s not enough
I watch her raise me fifteen grand
I fold my cards – that’s Ruby’s hand

Chorus

That’s Ruby’s hand
That’s Ruby’s hand
