4
She climbed on to my street car
5
Just before it turned St. Charles
6
More woman than I've ever seen
7
And she was wrigglin' outa her jeans
8
It must have been a hundred and three
9
Cause it was August down in New Orleans
10
She looked right through me
11
Said excuse me
12
Introduced me
13
Texas Ruby is my name
14
It was nothing but a string bikini
15
That was underneath them old blue jeans
16
And her t-shirt was soaking wet
17
It's only natural that the woman would sweat
18
But she took it off and tossed it away
19
Lord I was struggling for something to say
20
She said you really must excuse me
21
These old clothes are sticking to me
22
Texas Ruby is my name
23
Texas Ruby
24
Lord she put it to me
25
That lone star beauty
26
Known as Texas Ruby
27
How was a California boy to know
28
She made a living stripping out of her clothes
29
And although she had never knew me
30
Or how she was getting to me
31
Texas Ruby blew my mind
32
Later on down on Bourbon street
33
You'd never guess who I chanced to meet
34
It's not so much that I recalled the face
35
But all the other parts were right in place
36
And when she saw me standing by the bandstand
37
well she reached out and took my hand
38
she said I usually don't perform
39
On a street car down St. Charles
40
But New Orleans heat just got to me
41
Texas Ruby
42
Lord she put it to me
43
That lone star beauty
44
Known as Texas Ruby
45
Now every time I climb on street car
46
That's rattling down St. Charles
47
I'm just a boy of seventeen
48
On his first day in New Orleans
49
Seeing thing he'd never dreamed he'd see
50
From a girl who said excuse me
51
Showed it all then introduced me
52
Saying Texas Ruby is my name
53
Lord her memory drives me insane
54
Texas Ruby was her name
