Lyrics Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn

Ruby's Stool

She's been dancing all night long with my man

Well I thought about cutting in, aw but I can't

'Cause I'm gonna sit right here

And empty this ashtray in her beer

I can't wait to see her drinking from that can

I'm sitting on Ruby's stool right next to Bill

She likes breaking old Bill's heart, she always will

A honky tonk girl oughta know better than to break the rules

I'm fed up with her and I'm sitting on Ruby's stool

Everybody always gives her lots of space

No one would ever dare get in her face

I ain't never been one to fight

But friends, tonight's the night

I'm just the one that'll put her in her place

I'm sitting on Ruby's stool right next to Bill

She likes breaking old Bill's heart, she always will

A honky tonk girl oughta know better than to break the rules

I don't like her so I'm sitting on Ruby's stool

I'm sitting on Ruby's stool right next to Bill

She likes breaking old Bill's heart, she always will

Honky tonk girl oughta know better than to break the rules

I don't like her and I'm sitting here on her stool

I don't like her and I'm sitting on her stool

She's an old battle axe to begin with

Nobody in this little tavern likes her

I don't know why she hangs around here–ah, the boys do

I see why they like her, we all know why they like her

Ruby
