(Vance/Pokriss)
|
Ruby red. Ruby red.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Ruby red were her lips. Diamond pure was her heart. Emerald green (emerald green) were her eyes.
|
A priceless gem of perfection, but I lost her 'neath the sapphire sky. Ruby red, ruby red, ruby red.
|
|
I'd cross the wide Pacific and swim the China sea to have those lips of ruby red back here again with me.
|
Ruby red, ruby red, to have those lips of ruby red back here, again, with me.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I thought I could forget, so I sailed away, but I lived to regret until this very day.
|
Ruby red, ruby red, to have those lips of ruby red back here, again, with me.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Ruby red. Ruby red.
