Dion - Ruby Baby Lyrics






Ah now said I love a girl and-a Ruby is her name
This girl don't love me but I love 'er just the same
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, Ruby, Ruby, I'm-a want ya
Like a ghost I'm-a gonna haunt ya
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby will you be mine, sometime?

Ah each time I see you, baby my heart cries
I tell ya I'm gonna steal you away from all those guys
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, from the happy day I met ya
Now I made a bet that I was goin' to get ya
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby will you be mine?

Hey-hey (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby) hey-hey...

Well, I tell ya..

Now I love this girl I said-a Ruby is her name
When this girl looks at me she just sets my soul aflame
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, I got some hugs and-a kisses, too
Yeah and now I'm gonna give-a them all to you
Now, listen, now Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?

Hey-hey (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby) hey-hey...

Ah listen, listen, listen, now
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby will you be mine?
...

  5. T.... P....

    What'd I say whooaohhh.

    Mucho macho - Dion Di Mucci.

  6. H.... V....

    Dion and the Belmonts sang with Italian soul, they got it from ancestors sing without instruments much like all the great singers from Africa and rural hills in America. Gods gift to all of us. Only get that kind of music from the poor. Great natural sounds and rythm. Enjoy

  7. W.... ....

    While I love the Drifters and they recorded the original version and it's a good version I have to say that Dion recorded the superior version. Dion really rocks it. I always love listening to Dion.

  8. V.... W....

    To Bad I can not add a picture of Ruby Baby.. 1966 Tricolor candy apple red and white Dodge Dart GT V8 Convertible.. When I pull into a car show.. The guy chase after this beautiful Ruby Baby. They all want her, but she is mine.. I have the pink slip.

  13. V.... W....

    Ruby Baby is a rudy red 1966 Dodge Dart GT v8 Convertible, with Pearl white interior

  14. s.... ....

    Dion's voice is smooth and he was one slick cat! 😺💛😍

  15. C.... C....

    Nice harmonics

  16. M.... J....

    The Belmonts are not heard on this track; the background voices on this track are The Del Satins, Dion's backing group after he and The Belmonts split.

  17. E.... ....

    All songs about Ruby kill me, you name the artist list...and title...

    J.... C....

    This was released in 1963

  24. E.... D....

    No Belmonts on this record. Not that the poster would give a shit. I wish people would do their fucking homework and know something about the artist before they clutter the internet with WRONG shit. duhhhhhhhh

  25. m.... ....

    Dancing music

  26. D.... k....

    Dion could do black-music & make his own thing of it. Unlike Neil Sedaka, Fabian, Frankie Avalon, Pat Boone, etc

  27. J.... M....

    This is not Dion and The Belmonts. Dion is being backed by the Del Satins. Dion and The Belmonts separated 3 years prior.

  28. S.... K....

    Just love this so much

  29. P.... H....

    In Austria we say '' a geile nummer '' !!

  30. Y.... S....

    Love him...the best

    John Lennon told Dion that he loved this song. Me 2

  32. L.... J....

    Mike`s Pool Hall Bristol, CT 1969

  33. C.... C....

    The rare occasion when the white boy cover version is better than the original sung by a black guy

  34. M.... B....

    Dammmnnnnn!

  35. M.... S....

    I remember buying this 45, loved Dion, Check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, amazing

  36. F.... 9....

    Grandes del recuerdo....

  41. j.... N....

  42. B.... C....

    Ruby Rose would like this at one point.

  45. B.... 0....

    A more blues-y style one, very good still!

  46. J.... R....

    Pesterred by hollywood to watch this vid. Shamefull. I would never consider watching upside for steeling my time ! Fuck hollywood.

  47. D.... W....

    👍❤️❤️❤️😍

  48. J.... T....

    This is not Dion "and the Belmonts".
    Dion by himself. He split with the Belmonts in 1960.

    J.... T....

    TopazDupree is absolutely right. This picture doesn’t fit a bunch of other songs too.

  49. M.... J....

    No Belmonts on this recording. The backup group on this, as well as on Runaround Sue and on many others after 1960, is The Del Satins.

  50. R.... R....

    My name is ruby.....
    Uhhhh....😂😅

    R.... R....

    Ruby Smith Lol. Is that a good thing?

    R.... R....

    @Aerial Gold i don't know😂😂😂

  51. C.... C....

    Can I go back in time and have 23 in the 50's ?

  52. S.... C....

    Just added this song to my collection of songs I like to play on my guitar...took me back to the early 60's once again.

  53. J.... K....

    dion always makes me think of death in vegas

  54. G.... K....

    Think Bob Segar .... Sunspot Baby gonna catch up sometime

  55. E.... ....

    I'm 64 I remember this song from my mystic youth

    E.... ....

    You mean Like Mystic Connecticut, or the Mystic river over in Chucktown or something else ?

  56. R.... W....

    Bobby Caldwell bought me here.

  57. D.... ....

    Little Richard's own mother came up and asked him if he sang this song. When he replied in the affirmative, she said simply, "Son, you got soul."

  58. F.... C....

    I know Dion bcz of fallout 4! 😁🖖

  59. A.... Y....

    Great song but I don't like the way Dion "talk's" during the vocal. The vocal is over done.

  60. S.... M....

    whelp...this got it all started.....aided & abetted

  61. F.... F....

    Backup singers are awesome too.

  62. F.... ....

    my favorite song from grade school days. Later Dion stuff top notch too. This one gets the street corner group feeling exactly right.

  63. W.... S....

    Dion could make anything sound great. Dude is so mellow. Dig it !!!!!!!

  64. T.... N....

    Mama had this on 45 when I was a child. Loved watching her dance around our living room as she dusted furniture. Miss you, Mama.

  65. P.... F....

    Dion and his timeless classic voice.

  66. l.... s....

    My sisters fav childhood song ,,this ones for you :)

  67. P.... S....

    d&b so cool tls pcb fla

  68. B.... G....

    Just before the British invasion. A great song.

  69. J.... D....

    Correction: The group he recorded with was the Del-Satins from when his former group (Dion & The Belmonts) broke up in 1960. They were together from 1961 to 1963.

  70. F.... ....

    brilliant foot stomping Belmonts as usualxxxx

    j.... ....

    No Belmonts on this recording. The backup group on this, as well as on Runaround Sue and on many others after 1960, is The Del Satins.

  96. I.... ....

    The Nightfly brought me here

    I.... ....

    Ditto. ;)

  97. f.... ....

    "Ruby Baby". Dion, sounds fine. Donald Fagen's version is unbelievable, however.

    f.... ....

    JohnQRandom I'm heartbroken. My life is forfeit and I want to die, and all because you didn't like my suggestion.

    f.... ....

    I couldn't agree more John!

    f.... ....

    fretlessman71 The amount of fucks not given by this comment brings me joy.

    f.... ....

    +fretlessman71
    Agree Fagen's version is a lot better. Even the org. version by The Drifters is better than Dion imo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdC9S90-D_0
