"Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)"

(As recorded by Helen Reddy)
LINDA LAURIE

Big ole Ruby Red Dress, wanders 'round the town
Talkin' to herself now, sometimes sittin' down
Don't you get too close now, Ruby runs away
Poor ole Ruby red dress, born a sorry day
I can hear her say

Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone, leave me alone
Please leave me alone, yes leave me alone
Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone, leave me alone
Just leave me alone, oh leave me

Big ole Ruby Red dress, ev'rybody laughs
Say she's got no future, and never made no past
Something hurt that Ruby, something she can't bear
Ya look at her real close ya, see a little tear
When she says now

Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone, leave me alone
Please leave me alone, yes leave me alone
Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone, leave me alone
Just leave me alone, oh leave me

Some folks say some farm boy, up from Tennessee
Taught it all to Ruby, then just let her be
Her Daddy tried to hide it, tried to keep things cool
But something happened to Ruby, she broke down to a fool
Who says now

Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone, leave me alone
Please leave me alone, yes leave me alone
Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Now leave me alone, leave me alone
Just leave me alone, yes leave me
