I met a lady dressed in black
She sure looked strange to me
I said, baby where's a hot place to go
She said Ruby's ain't for me
I said, mama I can go anywhere I please
I been to places that would bring the devil to his knees
She just looked at me and said
Don't go where the bad boys go
If you can't fight
Don't go where the bad boys go
When it's late at night
She looked at me with her coal black eyes
As she took me by the hand
She said Ruby's just ain't the place
You see it's more like another land
And as we stood outside the door
You could smell it in the air
You could hear the screams and feel the heat
But I really didn't care
She kept telling me
Don't go where the bad boys go
If you can't fight
Don't go where the bad boys go
When it's late at night
And as she pushed me through the door
The place was bright with flames
She said I tried to warn you boy
Cause Ruby is my name
I should have listened when she said
Don't go where the bad boys go
If you can't fight
Don't go where the bad boys go
When it's late at night
Don't go where the bad boys go
If you can't fight
Don't go where the bad boys go
When it's late at night
I don't wanna hear it again
Don't go where the bad boys go
If you can't fight
Don't go where the bad boys go
When it's late at night
