Ruthless Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

Who always cooked my steaks and cooked 'em rare, Ruth 

When the chips were down who was always there, Ruth 

And to whom did I swear up and down I'd always tell the truth 

E-del-o-da-la-de who in the world but Ruth 

But now I'm as ruthless as can be 

Ruthless since Ruth walked out to me 

Now I had hopes that someday old Ruth would be my wife 

But it looks like I'll be ruthless all my life 

Who always made my world so bright and cheery, ol' Ruth 

Who always rubbed my back when I was weary, sweet Ruth 

Who used to call me every day from a telephone booth 

E-del-o-da-la-de who in the world but Ruth 

But now I'm as ruthless as can be 

Ruthless since Ruth walked out to me 

I used to think that me and Ruth would share a happy home 

But it looks like I'll be ruthless from now on
