Woke Up An Uncle (11-12-2001)

well i woke up an uncle, but i went to bed a fool

oh my ruby red you lay down next to me and i fell for you

oh you came into my day on a morning just so bliss

oh my ruby red, you knocked me down

but i look up yours and your little baby kiss



but i spent my days just looking for happiness

oh i waited so long my ruby red to come in this world

and i thought that the telephone was never gonna ring

oh they brought you to my life, oh my little ruby red my bed



oh it seems life is such a blessing

well i was without it for so long

oh my brother, you promised me everything

when you told me that ruby red was coming along

so i waited, oh i waited, for nine months at a time

and that day the telephone rang i nearly lost my mind

oh my spring breeze, oh she told me that ruby was on the way

and i must say when i woke up today, heard you're in my world

i love my ruby red



and i woke up an uncle, i went a fool
