Текст пісні
I once heard of a lady fair
With blood-scarlet skin and the moon in her hair
And should you want for her company
You'd empty your pockets to pay for her fee
The grace of her dancing is sweeter than sin
Her gaze known to topple the strongest of men
Her voice when she sings is as clear as a gem
And once you have known her you'll seek her again
Ruby of the Sea, the Ruby of the Sea
To most men a legend that they'll never see
Ruby of the sea, the Ruby of the sea
She's lovely and precious and never comes free
Since I heard of this siren bright
I'm thinking about her from dawn until night
And though I'll never be in her spell
I'm falling in love on the stories they tell
Her dance light as foam on the crest of a wave
Her eyes like a current, you're caught in her gaze
Her voice is a memory you'll take to the grave
And once you have known her your heart is her slave
Ruby of the Sea, the Ruby of the Sea
To most men a legend that they'll never see
Ruby of the sea, the Ruby of the sea
She's lovely and precious and never comes free
She's lovely and precious and out of your reach
