I said hello to the man who tried to win your hand a long time ago
I tried a smile as he talked of the days when he was your beau
But I could see he was a shaming me
When he talked of his wealth and fame
Ruby Ann took the hand of this poor poor man
Ain’t true love a funny thing
Big man you got money in your hand so what
You’re at a table for two but still there’s only you big shot
Well your money can’t buy if your power can’t hold you
Can’t romance your fame
Ruby Ann took the hand of this poor poor man
Ain't true love a funny thing
Ruby Ann took the hand of this poor poor man
Ain’t true love a funny thing
