I donât want for you to cry, I donât want for you to cry, I donât want for you to cry, Ruby.
I just want for you to smile, I just want for you to smile, I just want for you to smile, Ruby.
Idle thoughts may cross your mind in between the walls at night.
But I donât want for you to cry, and to each a better life.
So donât do it. Donât cry. Donât you do it!
(Then she looked into a crystal ball)
I donât want for you to cry, I donât want for you to cry, I donât want for you to cry, Ruby.
I just want for you to smile, I just want for you to smile, I just want for you to smile, Ruby.
I am not a pretty sight, but no two birds are made alike.
But I donât want to see you cry, not before Iâve seen you smile.
