Drifters, The - Ruby Baby Lyrics






I got a girl and Ruby is her name
She don't love me but I love her just the same
Ruby, Ruby I want you
Like a ghost and I'm going to haunt you
Ruby, Ruby when will you be mine

Well, each time I see you baby my heart cries
Well, I'm going to steel you away from all those guys
Come the sunny day I met you
I made a bet that I would get you
Ruby, Ruby when will you be mine

    A great, crystal clear recording from the fabulous Drifters.

  8. B.... A....

    The original. Didn’t know Donald Fagan version was a cover. Fagan took it up a notch but this one rocks just the same.

  9. M.... T....

    M.... T....

    no way this is much stronger

  19. J.... K....

    J.... K....

    Joseph Kane awww sweet, i personally have the modt wonderful girl, and she would be my Ruby baby🙃

  20. t.... ....

    It is Johnny Moore on lead vocals for this classic

    t.... ....

    you are correct! Johnny Moore.

    t.... ....

    He sounds so similar to Clyde McPhatter

  21. E.... S....

    So this is where Dion came up with his version of "Ruby Baby". Always wondered, since I never heard this original until a few days ago!

    E.... S....

    There's always a first time!

    E.... S....

    Clyde McPhatter had to be a huge influence on Dion

    E.... S....

    The Drifters originally recorded Drip Drop which Dion later recorded.

    E.... S....

    @bill chew But this isn't Clyde, it's Johnny Moore.

  22. H.... S....

    White Christmas by the Drifters is an amazing record and so completely different that it should have been one of their biggest hits.

    H.... S....

    Egbert Souce Love all the Drifters music but especially when Johnny Moore is on lead.

    H.... S....

    Linda Dee: Wouldn't bet my life that Johnny Moore is singing lead on this. Might be Clyde--sounds a lot like him?? "Drifters" leads can be tricky!!! Maybe you know more than I do??

    H.... S....

    Anne Jackson: It probably is Johnny Moore, but Clyde left in 1955 or late 1954--he spent most of '54 with The Drifters.

    H.... S....

    Then why does my recording say "Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters"?

    H.... S....

    This is DEFINITELY Johnny Moore singing lead, it is NOT Clyde. Ruby Baby was recorded in Sept 1955 and released as a single in Feb 1956. Clyde officially left the Drifters in July 1955 but last recorded with them in Oct 1954. http://www.uncamarvy.com/Drifters/drifters.html
