Bloodshot Ruby

Ruby's now 23
A coney island boardwalk queen
She's selling favors for love

Sleeping on the street
Since nearly 17
Paying the price no one should have to pay
No way

You see daddy was a devil man
Where love and pain went hand and hand
Wanting to just kick down the door
Out to the streets
Is a darling making mark at mean boy
Where she works and lives today, no
Singing

Bloodshot Ruby's eyes, no, no
Told me twice my size, yeah

Daddy was a devil man
Love and pain went hand and hand, hand

Sleeping on the streets
And joe was selling for a mark at me, yeah
Smoking whiskey out the door
Out to the street, oh
Coney island boardwalk queen
Where she lives and prays today
Singing

A bloodshot Ruby's eyes
She got a pride that was twice my size
Ah daddy was a devil man
And she never told me no lies
So now
Bloodshot Ruby's eyes
A bloodshot Ruby
(that's right, punkie)
(tell me a story)

A war and singing
Bloodshot Ruby's eyes
She got a pride that was twice my size
Daddy was a devil man
And she never told me no lies
She got
She got
She got a bloodshot Ruby's eyes
