walked a lonely Sydney night.
maybe he just had enough.
Maybe he just wanted to prove
he was more than Yankee tough.
Ruby played piano in a bar
Where all the yanks came to get the girls
and to throw their money around
Ruby would play their favorite songs
The smile of her, she winked at him
they laid their lonely down.
there's a man who doesn't know me.
God knows if he's dead or he's alive.
there's a man too old to own me.
I guarantee he's thought of
March of 1946, Brisbane summertime
A baby boy came to this world
and his first song was a cry.
He's been singing ever since,
He doesn't give a damn what you
he's got something more than you.
Hey boys, I'm a son of a millionaire,
Hey boys, I'm a son of a cowboy singer,
Boys, I'm a son of a movie star
I'm a son of a man who's rich
I'm a son of any man I wanna be
Cause, boys, I'm a son of a bitch
Walked the lonely Sydney nights
Ruby played piano in a bar
Where all the yanks came to get the girls
and to throw their money around
And they laid them honeys down
They laid their money down
And I lay it all the way down
