Ruby Lyrics

Oh Ruby Ruby
Honey are you mad at your man

I'll sit here in the shade
I'll shovel with the spade
I'm diggin' in the brown gold mine

Oh Ruby Ruby
Honey are you mad at your man

I've done all I can do.
Try and try to get along with you
Still you're not satisfied

Oh Ruby Ruby
Honey are you mad at your man

If you don't believe I'm wrong
just follow me tonight
I'll take you to my shady so cold

Oh Ruby Ruby
Honey are you mad at your man

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
