[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
Well I took my Ruby jukin'
A
On the out-skirts of town
A
She took her high heels off
A
And rolled her stockings down
A D
She put a quarter in the jukebox
D
To get a little beat
D A
Everybody
N.C
started watchin' All the rhythm in her feet
[Chorus]
A D
She's my rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll
A
Rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll
A E
When Ruby starts a-rockin'
E D A
Boy it satisfies my soul
[Verse 2]
A
Now Ruby started rockin' 'bout one o'clock
A
And when she started rockin'
A
She just couldn't stop
A D
She rocked on the tables
D
And rolled on the floor
D A
With every
N.C.
body yellin': "Ruby rock some more!"
[Chorus]
A D
She's my rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll
A
Rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll

When Ruby starts a-rockin'
E D A
Boy it satisfies my soul
[Instrumental]
A D A E A
[Verse 3]
A
It was 'round about four
A
I thought she would stop
A
She looked at me and then
A
She looked at the clock
A D
She said: "Wait a minute Daddy
D A
Now don't get sore "All
N.C.
I want to do is rock a little bit more"
[Chorus]

She's my rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll

Boy it satisfies my soul

[Verse 4]

One night my Ruby left me all alone
A
I tried to contact her on the telephone

I finally found her about twelve o'clock

She said:
N.C.
"Leave me alone Daddy 'cause your Ruby wants to rock"
[Chorus]

She's my rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll

Rock'n'roll Ruby, rock'n'roll

When Ruby starts a-rockin'
E D A
Boy it satisfies my soul

Rock, rock, rock'n'roll
A
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll

Rock, rock, rock'n'roll
A
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll
A E
When Ruby starts a-rockin'
E D A
Boy it satisfies my soul
