Ruth and me
We come from different worlds
She was a Moabite;
I'm a Jewish mother's girl
Somehow she married a son of mine
It's such a shame because my sons and husband died
But there's nothing I could do
I said, Ruth, I'm gonna go back home
She looked at me
She had something left to say:
I'm gonna follow you and with you I will stay
I won't let you just leave
Because, Mom, I love you and you are my family
And there's nothing you can do;
Naomi gonna be with Ruth
I will call on your God, too
Naomi gonna be with Ruth
Went home to live in Bethlehem
Seen all my friends
I said, my family collapsed when all the men died
But Ruth has not abandoned me
Changed my life to bittersweet
She was married to one of my sons
And when he died
She came with me
I'd better help her find a hubby;
Naomi gonna see her through
Somebody local;
A lonely guy who needs her, too
And I think I know just who
Naomi gonna see with Ruth
You can call me old school;
Naomi gonna be with Ruth
Sometimes I wonder what might have been
If Ruth abandoned me when I told her to back then
Ruth had a baby and on down the line
Great grandson David, yeah, the one who fought the giant
And there's the King of the Jews;
I know you've heard of Jesus, too
If you call Him, Lord, too
Naomi gonna be with you
And he came from out of Ruth
Naomi gonna be with Ruth
Naomi gonna be with Ruth
Naomi gonna be with Ruth
Naomi gonna be with Ruth
