As I sit and dream On the water side, My mind is traveling Like the high rolling tide. No matter how fast Or where it goes With it my thoughts Of my Ruby Montrose. No matter how dark And stormy the night, My mind still wanders By my strong lovelight Holding a secret That nobody knows, And guided by the thought Of my Ruby Montrose. Now I’ve gained her love renown, The world will smile and cease to frown. The summer breeze that always blows Will refreshen the love of my Ruby Montrose. I ne’er grow tired of the words I write, They are my soul and my heart’s delight. They hold more sweetness than any flower that grows, For in them’s the thought of my Ruby Montrose. |
