Ruby - Toumani Diabate, Ali Farka Touré

Ruby, I hope I see you

I’ve waited all this week

For you to walk my way

Your soul will capture me

Your mama painted your room

A shade of pink, she said

But with your great arrival

That shade has turned to red

Ruby, take my hand

Please lead me to the Promised Land

Tell me, where am I from?

Your eyes say, sha-da-dee-da-dum

Ruby, you’re royalty

In your homeland, they all call you queen

Tell me, where are you from?

Your eyes say, sha-da-dee-da-dum

You’re an angel fallen down

Won’t you tell us of the clouds?

You have fallen from the sky

How high, how high

You’re an angel fallen down

Won’t you tell us of the clouds?

You have fallen from the sky

How high, how high

You’re true and pure

You hold the cure

We’re all diseased

You hold the key

You’re an angel fallen down

Won’t you tell us of the clouds?

You have fallen from the sky

How high, how hi-

Tell our dad I’m sorry

Tell our dad I’m sorry

Tell our dad I’m sorry

Tell our dad I’m sorry

Tell our dad I’m sorry

Tell our dad I’m sorry

Tell our dad I’m sorry

You’re an angel

You’re an angel

You’re an angel

You’re an angel

You’re an angel

Tell our dad I’m sorry

Tell our dad I’m sorry

Tell our dad I’m sorry, yeah

You’re an angel, you’re an angel (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
