Hey Ruth, Tell me the truth
Do you really plan on leaving me tonight?
Come on baby, give me just one day

Give me just one chance to make everything alright

Well I know I ain't been home, in a fortnight and a day

And when I'm here i know it feels like I am still away
come on Ruth I still need you what else can i say
I'm loving you, that's all I can do, please don't run away


Hey Ruth, Tell me the truth
Do you really plan on leaving me tonight?

Come on baby, give me just one day
Give me just one chance to make everything alright


Well you know I miss you dearly, while I'm playing all these shows
And Im thinking of you while I'm layin' it down in the recording studios


You know I speak sincerely, when I tell you I'm your man
And that all I wanna do is get home to you and take you by the hand


Hey Ruth, Tell me the truth
Do you really plan on leaving me tonight?
Come on baby, give me just one day

Give me just one chance to make everything alright

Well I guess you've packed you're bags, and it's time to hit the road

well there's just one thing I need to tell you darling, before you go
I took all my hard earned money, and I bought you a wedding ring


Ruth can't you see I'm on my knee I'd give up everything

Hey Ruth, Tell me the truth

Do you really plan on leaving me tonight?
Come on baby, give me just one day
Give me just one chance to make everything alright
