'Round and 'roundand we won't let goAnd where we stopno one knowsuh-huh uh-huhDown and downin a spin we turnLooking likewe'll never learnuh-huh uh-huhThink aboutwhat ev'ryone is sayingRuby dearOh don't you hearLate at nightwhen the radio is playingRuby dearSo looky hereOh this record's brokenIt slips a beatAnd all those watermelonsHave gone to seedNothing livesin this dirty little riverNo one hereWill shed a tearIt dried upbut it couldn't run foreverRuby dearThat's what we hearI still like the oceanDown by the seaThey left that door wide openIt tempted meHounding mefrom the bedroom to the kitchenRuby dearI'm still right hereNow they throwedthe fox amongst the chickensIt's too deepI'll drown in my sleep!Angels and prostitutesThey might look the sameAnd if to Hell we're goingI'll see you there'Round and 'roundand we won't let goAnd where we stopno one knowsuh-huh uh-huhDown the streetwhere the bonfires glowLooking likethey lost controluh-huh uh-huhSettle downin that rocking chairBreathing inthat rotten airuh-huh uh-huhJohnny Jonesfell fast asleepDown a holewhere the rocks are steep
