James Talley - Blue Eyed Ruth and My Sunday Suit

I’ve been working all week long
Saturday night and I’m a going to town
I got a woman, a blue eyed ruth
And I’m a gonna see her in my Sunday suit

I got a white shirt collar and a new pair of shoes
I got a tank of gas, I got a pint of booze
Got a big pink flower in my buttonhole
I got twenty dollars in my old billfold

And now the big old moon is a shining down
For me and my gal to paint the town

Maybe I’ll take her to a picture show
Buy her some popcorn and a coke
Maybe we’ll dance to a country tune
At the honky tonk we can sit and spoon

She calls me daddy, she holds me tight
She’s my honey on Saturday night

I’ve been working all week long
Saturday night and I’m a going to town
I got a woman, a blue eyed ruth
I’m a gonna see her in my Sunday suit
