Ruby Still Falls - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

If you ever go up to Ruby Falls, there's some things you oughta know

Some tell it like a legend, a tragic tale from a time long ago

Ruby's still there fallin' with the water down a hundred feet below

Her ghost is there, can't go nowhere as long as the falls still flow

'Cause Ruby fell hard for a man from Kentucky

When she shoulda been a-fallin' for me

Now that man from Kentucky, he's a long time gone

But Ruby still falls for me

Yes, Ruby still falls for me

Now Ruby, she up and gave her heart to a boy from Bowling Green

I followed him down to Moccasin Bend, since then he ain't been seen

So I pledged my love to Ruby, swore I'd treat her like a queen

The chance she would deny me 'til then was unforeseen

'Cause Ruby fell hard for a man from Kentucky

When she shoulda been a-fallin' for me

Now that man from Kentucky, he's a long time gone

But Ruby still falls for me

Yes, Ruby still falls for me

The sheriff, he never knew for sure what happened on that night

Did Ruby jump or was she pushed down from that terrible height?

Most round here, they don't go near, it gives them a horrible fright

But for the one who longed to claim her love, the falls are a beautiful sight

'Cause Ruby fell hard for a man from Kentucky

When she shoulda been a-fallin' for me

Now that man from Kentucky, he's a long time gone

But Ruby still falls for me

'Cause Ruby fell hard for a man from Kentucky

When she shoulda been a-fallin' for me

Now that man from Kentucky, he's a long time gone

But Ruby still falls for me

Yes, Ruby still falls for me

Ruby still falls for me

Yes, Ruby still falls for me
