[Verse 1]
E
It’s so good to see you but my how you’ve changed
E B7 E
Since the last time I saw you girl you’ve been rearranged
E
I always said your people were just like my kin
E B7 E
When I was down and out they would always take me in

[Chorus]
E
Oh I love you my Baby Ruth
E B7 E
Never lie to you I only tell the truth
E
Oh I love you since you were a child
E B7 E
Everytime I see you girl you always raise a smile

I was living out on the highway you didn’t turn me out

I lived in your closet and you fed me by mouth

My boots were my pillow wrapped under my head
E B7 E
I kept all my stuff stashed out under your bed

[Chorus]
E
Oh I love you my Baby Ruth

Never lie to you I only tell the truth
E
Yes I love you since you were a child

Everytime I see you girl you always raise a smile
