see ruby fall

Written by Roy Orbison/Johnny Cash

Well, I knew someday Ruby would be leavinââ?¬â?¢,
That she wasnââ?¬â?¢t happy livinââ?¬â?¢ quietly, quietly.
ââ?¬Ë?Cause she would get that bedroom look each morninââ?¬â?¢,
and I tell Ruby pull away from me.
So go down-town at nine oââ?¬â?¢ clock this eveninââ?¬â?¢;
Walk under that red light then down the hall, down the hall.
Look for the highest flyinââ?¬â?¢ girl, thatââ?¬â?¢s Ruby.
And if you wait your turn, youââ?¬â?¢ll see Ruby fall.

Donââ?¬â?¢t let her know that you even know me;
Sheââ?¬â?¢ll be tryinââ?¬â?¢ to forget it all.
And donââ?¬â?¢t tell me how it was tonight, tomorrow,
ââ?¬Ë?cause I donââ?¬â?¢t want to see Ruby fall.
Well, I didnââ?¬â?¢t hold her back when she got restless;
One man is not enough when she wants it all.
I let her go when I saw what she wanted,
ââ?¬Ë?cause I donââ?¬â?¢t care to see Ruby fall.
