[Title] The Book of Ruth [Verse 1] Oh, woe is me! Alas! Alack! I’m far too ill to call you back. [Chorus] Why don’t you listen to Me? I only tell you the truth I want to just make you see It’s all from The Book of Ruth! [Verse 2] My son is gone, it’s not my fault I’m not a Jew, but, Oy, Gevalt! [Chorus] Why don’t you listen to Me? I only tell you the truth I want to just make you see It’s all from The Book of Ruth! [Verse 3] I’ve had a year, I should be dead The pain, I fear, is in my head [Verse 4] I lost my boy, the First, I mean No longer coy, it’s just obscene! [Chorus] Why don’t you listen to Me? I only tell you the truth I want to just make you see It’s all from The Book of Ruth! [Bridge] Amidst the sorrow, in the darkest night, A tale of Ruth, her strength, her light. Her loyalty, a beacon true, A story told, as tears we knew. [Chorus] Why don’t you listen to Me? I only tell you the truth I want to just make you see It’s all from The Book of Ruth! [Outro] Oh, hear my plea, in this lament, A chapter closed, but love remains. [End]
