Mississippi blues
slow 12-bar feel with swung shuffle
fingerpicked guitar and warm upright bass; verse rides sparse with vocal and slide fills
pre-chorus lifts with handclaps and grit

Lyrics
Sing-along
Full text
Verse 1
Down by the levee in the clay-red night
They told them folks to keep their heads down tight
Boss man laughed with a silver tooth grin
Ruby Red rose where the trouble had been
Verse 2
She wore red dust on her heel and sleeve
She knew the hurt that the poor folks breathe
If the law came crooked, if the blood ran cold
She'd stand in the doorway and she wouldn't fold
Pre-Chorus
Hear that train sound moan
Hear that bad word blown
Ruby's comin' on
Ruby's comin' strong
Chorus
Ruby Red, Ruby Red
She don't let the wicked rest
Ruby Red, Ruby Red
She's the hand on the oppressor's chest
Ruby Red, Ruby Red
Set the broken people free
Ruby Red, Ruby Red
That's her sacred prophecy
Verse 3
In the pinewoods deep where the moon hangs low
She finds the names that the lost ones know
Chain by chain, she turns that steel
Makes every hard man feel what they made folks feel
Verse 4
If you hear her heel taps on a gravel road
Better drop that hate, better lighten that load
She don't preach forgiveness to a cruel man's door
She just brings the hurt back twice before
Pre-Chorus
Hear that train sound moan
Hear that bad word blown
Ruby's comin' on
Ruby's comin' strong
Chorus
Ruby Red, Ruby Red
She don't let the wicked rest
Ruby Red, Ruby Red
She's the hand on the oppressor's chest
Ruby Red, Ruby Red
Set the broken people free
Ruby Red, Ruby Red
That's her sacred prophecy
Bridge
Now the crows go quiet when she walks through smoke
Every lie gets thin, every chain gets broke
Old river listens, the cypress bends
Ruby don't punish, she rememberin'
Chorus
Ruby Red, Ruby Red
She don't let the wicked rest
Ruby Red, Ruby Red
She's the hand on the oppressor's chest
Ruby Red, Ruby Red
Set the broken people free
Ruby Red, Ruby Red
That's her sacred prophecy
