Staring at shadows on the wall

Wish I knew of someone I could call

Someone who might understand it all

Ruby Lee I sure you wish you were here with me

Someone lying with me in my bed

Some stranger who don't understand my head

Wish it was you lying here instead

Ruby Lee I sure wish you were here with me

Drowning in a sea of pretty faces

Being quite the man about the town

Packing up and going different places

But I show miss heaven you around

I listen to the noises down the hall

Think I'll move out of here in the fall

I ain't exactly having me a ball

Ruby Lee I sure wish you were here with me
