Sides face grand square
*Big old Ruby red dress
Wanders 'round the town
Talkin' to herself now
Sometimes sittin'
Allemande left and weave
Don't you get too close now
Ruby runs away (Swing and promenade)
Poor old Ruby red dress
Born on a sorry day

*Some folks say some farm boy
Up from Tennessee
Taught it all to Ruby
Then just let her
Allemande left and weave
Her daddy tried to hide it
Tried to keep things cool (swing and promenade)
But something happened to Ruby
She broke down to a fool

*Leave me alone
Won't you leave me alone?
Please leave me alone Now leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone Please leave me alone
Yes, leave me
Allemande left and weave
Leave me alone
Won't you leave me alone?
Please leave me alone Now leave me alone
Leave me alone Just leave me alone
Please leave me

Heads (Sides) square thru count me four hands and go
The corner there now you dosado
Swing thru and the boys you trade
Boys run, bend your line, and go
Square thru count me three hands and go
Swing your corner and promenade home
Please leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Please leave me
