I sit here and I'm drinking
Drinking away her name
God knows if it will help
Until now she still remains
And every glass and every hour
Deeper I will sink
So wondering if it will help
Come on buddy and buy me a drink
Think about my baby
I Think about right now
Come on give me a bottle
Bill don't talk about it now
Think about my baby
I Think about right now
The moment I knew she was living
I had to get her anyhow

My baby Ruby
She is groovy
And every time I call her name
She looks in the sky for me

I sit here and I'm drinking
Drinking away her name
God knows if it will help
Until now she still remains
And every glass and every hour
The deeper I will sink
So buddy if it will help
Just come on buddy buy me a drink
