Who always cooked my steaks and cooked 'em rare?  
 
Ruth.
Abm                                     Gb
When the chips were down who was always there?  
 
Ruth.
                  Ebm               Abm
And to whom did I swear up and down I'd always 
 
tell the truth?

Yodel-ee-del-ady, who in the world but Ruth.

Ruthless since Ruth walked out on me.

Now, I had hopes that someday old Ruth would be 
 
my wife.
