He will leave behind all of his clothes He wore when he was with her All he needs are his railroad boots And his leather jacket As he says goodbye to Ruby's arms Although his heart is breaking He will steal away out through her blinds For soon she will be waking Morning light has washed her face And everything is turning blue now She holds on to her pillow case There's nothing he can do now As he says goodbye to Ruby's arms He says, she'll find another soldier And he swears to God by Christmastime There'll be someone else to hold her The only thing he is taking is The scarf off of her clothesline He'll hurry past her chest of drawers And her broken wind chimes As he says goodbye, he says goodbye Goodbye to Ruby's arms He will feel his way down her darkened hall And out into the morning The hobos in the freight yards Have kept their fires burning And Jesus Christ, this cold hard rain Won't someone put him on his train He'll never kiss her lips again Or break her heart As he says goodbye, he says goodbye Say goodbye to Ruby's arms
