Well it's sure good to see you
|
But my how you've changed
|
Since the last time I saw you
|
Girl you've been rearranged
|
I always said your people
|
Were just like my kin
|
When I was down and out
|
They would always take me in
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Oh I love you my Baby Ruth
|
Never lie to you
|
I only tell the truth
|
Oh I love you since you were a child
|
Every time I see you girl
|
You always raise a smile
|
|
I was living out on the highway
|
You didn't turn me out
|
I lived in your closet
|
And you fed me by mouth
|
My boots were my pillow
|
Wrapped under my head
|
I kept all my stuff
|
Stashed out under your bed
|
|
