[Verse 1]
She's been dancing all night long with my man
Well, I thought about cutting in, ah but I can't
'Cause I'm gonna sit right here
And empty this ashtray in her beer
I can't wait to see her drinking from that can

[Chorus]
I'm sitting on Ruby's stool right next to Bill
She likes breaking old Bill's heart, she always will
A honky-tonk girl oughta know better than to break the rules
I'm fed up with her and I'm sitting on Ruby's stool

[Verse 2]
Everybody always gives her lots of space
No one would ever dare get in her face
I ain't never been one to fight
But friends, tonight's the night
I'm just the one that'll put her in her place

[Chorus]
I'm sitting on Ruby's stool right next to Bill
She likes breaking old Bill's heart, she always will
A honky-tonk girl oughta know better than to break the rules
I don't like her, so I'm sitting on Ruby's stool
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'm sitting on Ruby's stool right next to Bill
She likes breaking old Bill's heart, she always will
Honky-tonk girl oughta know better than to break the rules
I don't like her and I'm sitting here on her stool
I don't like her and I'm sitting on her stool

[Spoken Outro]
She's an old battle-axe to begin with
Nobody in this little tavern likes her
I don't know why she hangs around here–ah, the boys do
I see why they like her, we all know why they like her
Ruby
