about

Probably built on the bones and ghosts of HouseOfTheRisingSun. From a different angle. A howl against 10,000 years of partriachy.

lyrics

Ruby's fading quickly into the night
Jack can't do nothin' so he just might
Stand around and watch 'nother night in these rooms
Over by the sofa like a lonely bridegroom

Ruby's got this smile men give her the eye
Jack wants a whiskey as his throat runs dry
Some man takes her hand happens with such ease
Jack's by the river praying on a breeze

Down at Miss Martha's House
Oh my name is Jack
I'm there most every night
With my heart turning' black

Ruby comes back in it's been an hour or more
Jack whispers, "Oh Ruby how come you do this for?"
Ruby calls over, "Hey Jack don't look so mean!"
Jack mumbles, "I'm no Jesus you're no Magdalene ..."

(Chorus)

Out on the street Jack follows the guy
He don't see what he thought he'd see when he looks in his eye
Deep in his pocket Jack feels his knife
He just can't do it spare another life
No not tonight

(Chorus)
