Ruby Mae Songtext
von Indigo Swing

Early morning whistle stop
Beside a depot coal and pop
A trainman finds a smiling face
A Ruby girl in shining grace
Alone, Ruby Mae
He takes her to his modest home
To bathe and feed and call his own
He didn′t know her history
Or what she would grow up to be
Who knew, Ruby Mae
Rolling on
Rolling on, Ruby Mae
She never knew what school entailed
But loved to go and ride the rails
The dining car she'd sit with dad
And there she learned the gift she had
For song, Ruby Mae And all along the ivories
Her hands would roll with perfect ease
And down the line she′d play her muse
Boogie dixie delta blues
Play on, Ruby Mae
Play on
Rolling on, Ruby Mae
Rolling on, Ruby Mae
And up and down the railway towns
The people came from miles around
To hear the swinging gospel sound
And bless the girl the trainman found
She's home, Ruby Mae
She's home
Rolling on, Ruby Mae
Rolling on, Ruby Mae
