Big old Ruby Red Dress
Wanders 'round the town
Talkin' to herself now
Sometimes sittin' down
Don't you get too close now
Ruby runs away
Poor old Ruby Red Dress
Born on a sorry day
I can hear her say

Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Won't you leave me alone?
Please leave me alone (leave me alone)
Now leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone (leave me alone)
Please leave me alone
Yes, leave me (leave me)

Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Won't you leave me alone?
Please leave me alone (leave me alone)
Now leave me alone
God, leave me alone (leave me alone)
Just leave me alone
Oh, leave me (leave me)

Big old Ruby Red Dress
Everybody laughs
Say she's got no future
And never made no past
Something hurt that Ruby
Something she can't bear
You look at her real close now
You see a little tear
Oh, when she says now

Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Won't you leave me alone?
Please leave me alone (leave me alone)
God, leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone (leave me alone)
Just leave me alone
Please leave me (leave me)

Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Won't you leave me alone?
Please leave me alone (leave me alone)
Now leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone (leave me alone)
Just leave me alone
Oh, leave me (leave me)

Some folks say some farm boy
Up from Tennessee
Taught it all to Ruby
Then just let her be
Her daddy tried to hide it
Tried to keep things cool
But something happened to Ruby
She broke down to a fool
Who just said now

Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Won't you leave me alone?
Please leave me alone (leave me alone)
Now leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone (leave me alone)
Please leave me alone
Yes, leave me (leave me)

Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Won't you leave me alone?
Please leave me alone (leave me alone)
Now leave me alone
God, leave me alone (leave me alone)
Just leave me alone
Please leave me (leave me)
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
