lyrics
- 8. don’t be cruel
- 19. rock ‚n‘ roll Ruby
don’t be cruel
(Otis Blackwell, Elvis Presley)
You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone
If you can’t come around
At least please telephone
Don’t be cruel
To a heart that’s true
Baby, if I made you made
For something I might have said
Please let’s forget the past
The future looks bright ahead
Don’t be cruel
To a heart that’s true
I don’t want no other love
Baby, it’s just you I’m thinking of
Don’t stop thinking of me
Don’t make me feel this way
Come on over here and love me
You know what I want you to say
Don’t be cruel
To a heart that’ true
Why should we be apart
I really love you
Baby, cross my heart
Let’s walk up to the preacher
And let us say, I do
Then you’ll know you’ll have me
And I’ll know I’ll have you
Published by Elvis Presley Music
rock ‚n‘ roll Ruby
(Johnny Cash)
Well I took my Ruby jukin'
On the out-skirts of town
She took her high heels off
And rolled her stockings down
She put a quarter in the jukebox
To get a little beat
Everybody started watchin'
All the rhythm in her feet
She's my rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll
Rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll
When Ruby starts a-rockin'
Boy it satisfies my soul
Now Ruby started rockin' 'bout one o'clock
And when she started rockin'
She just couldn't stop
She rocked on the tables
And rolled on the floor
And Everybody yelled: "Ruby rock some more!"
She's my rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll
Rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll
When Ruby starts a-rockin'
Boy it satisfies my soul
It was 'round about four
I thought she would stop
She looked at me and then
She looked at the clock
She said: "Wait a minute Daddy
Now don't get sour
All I want to do
Is rock a little bit more"
She's my rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll
Rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll
When Ruby starts a-rockin'
Boy it satisfies my soul
One night my Ruby left me all alone
I tried to contact her on the telephone
I finally found her about twelve o'clock
She said: "Leave me alone Daddy
'cause your Ruby wants to rock"
She's my rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll
Rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll
When Ruby starts a-rockin'
Boy it satisfies my soul
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll
When Ruby starts a-rockin'
Boy it satisfies my soul
