[00:00.000]Mad Ruth / The Babe (LP版) - Danny O'Keefe
[00:11.388]One day I was thinkin' 'bout the babe
[00:15.522]And the memories he left behind of the Old Ball Game
[00:21.161]Shame of it is they're almost gone
[00:25.546]But there're still a few pieces
[00:28.058]I can recall
[00:31.846]The catcher says to Ruth
[00:35.633]You know it's just a game
[00:38.409]You win you lose
[00:41.011]But it's all the same
[00:45.894]The babe would turn and say
[00:50.366]You know you're right
[00:53.010]But I still love to play
[01:00.755]And Ruth she turns to me
[01:05.343]And wonders where I am
[01:07.902]And where I'd be if she didn't care
[01:15.670]I return to Ruth to say
[01:20.214]You know I'd be all right
[01:22.777]But I'd still love to play
[01:31.306]The pitcher throws at Ruth
[01:34.925]He can't afford to miss
[01:38.649]He held the ball
[01:40.343]Like a stolen kiss
[01:45.242]And the babe just let it fly
[01:50.184]And apologized like he'd hurt the guy
[01:59.851]Mad Ruth just loves to b***h
[02:04.580]You can't afford the miss
[02:07.496]You make your deal
[02:09.780]As you steal a kiss
[02:14.720]And she never said goodbye
[02:19.226]She really loved the game
[02:21.598]She hardly knew the guy
[02:34.075]Mad Ruth you should have known the babe
[02:43.871]He loved the things he'd never had
[02:48.586]And he made you happy
[02:51.778]As he made you sad
[03:00.736]The babe here in my head
[03:04.026]Seems like he never left
[03:07.042]I heard the news like someone deaf
[03:14.338]It was nineteen-forty-eight
[03:19.302]He'd played a game
[03:21.734]But he'd made it great
[03:28.937]Mad Ruth sits on the couch
[03:33.441]In someone else's room
[03:36.343]I win you lose
[03:43.562]It's just a game she'll say
[03:48.269]You know she's right
[03:50.639]But I'd still love to play
[04:03.102]Mad Ruth you should have known the babe
[04:12.948]He loved the things he'd never had
[04:17.491]And he made you happy
[04:20.908]As he made you sad
[04:28.135]Mad Ruth you would have loved the babe
[04:37.639]She wanted things you never had
[04:42.404]And she made you happy
[04:45.752]Till she left you sad
[04:57.073]One evening I was thinkin' 'bout the babe
[05:01.089]And the memories she left behind
[05:02.977]Of the old ball game
[05:06.418]Shame of it is they're almost gone
[05:10.943]But there are still a few pieces I can recall
[05:16.335]Mad Ruth you should have known the babe
