She dare not lose it, but she couldn't keep it Not anymore No, not anymore!
For the rings of Ruth The one she wears, oh! They keep her in her place He keeps her mind in place.........
Dare not spill your red treasure on his floor Oh poor woman, watch your step Contain yourself...........
Daren't let him in, oh Ruth No, daren't let him in, uh-oh Ruthie Why lug around his le-ga-cy in your mind? Of relentless rings of insanity.....goin' round and round.......
Ring-a-ring-o' Ruth, goin' round and round
Come on home, dear Ruth and flush 'em fears away Watching you, my Ruth, I can see you from afar Won't hurt you anymore, won't make you run away Your heart will sing the Truth that the sands of Time will veil.
So, come on home, dear Ruth Come home...... Come home!
