Ruby Red - The Kingston Trio

I’d cross the wide Pacific and swim the China sea to have those lips of ruby

red back here again with me

Ruby red, ruby red, to have those lips of ruby red back here, again, with me

Ruby red were her lips.

Diamond pure was her heart.

Emerald green (emerald

green) were her eyes

A priceless gem of perfection, but I lost her 'neath the sapphire sky.

Ruby red, ruby red, ruby red

I thought I could forget, so I sailed away, but I lived to regret until this

very day

Ruby red, ruby red, to have those lips of ruby red back here, again, with me

Ruby red were her lips.

Diamond pure was her heart.

Emerald green (emerald

green) were her eyes

A priceless gem of perfection, but I lost her 'neath the sapphire sky.

Ruby red, ruby red, ruby red

Ruby red.
