| You should have seen a Bible book with my wife’s name-y
|
| There was something written
|
| She could have been known as a Moabite boy’s lady
|
| But she switched religions
|
| And the place we met I can never forget
|
| A stretch of land Salmon my dad had stored up for his son
|
| And though I know I’m a much older man
|
| Still that don’t offend her
|
| 'Cause she was once married way before then
|
| And she’s still so tender
|
| Ruth and I met after her guy was dead
|
| When she said that she’d follow and stand by his mother forever
|
| And I’m gonna keep on lovin' Ruth
|
| 'Cause she’s Naomi’s single daughter, too
|
| I don’t wanna reap
|
| I just wanna keep on lovin' Ruth
|
| LEAD
|
| And I said, that’s the girl I’ll wed
|
| When she said, man, I’d love you to stand as my kinsman redeemer
|
| And I’m gonna keep on lovin' Ruth
|
| 'Cause it’s a Boaz thing; |
| it’s what I do
|
| I am not a creep
|
| I just wanna keep on lovin' Ruth (ooh ooh)
|
| Baby, I’m gonna keep on lovin' Ruth
|
| 'Cause little Obed needs his father, too
|
| I know talk is cheap (I … know talk is cheap)
|
| I’m just gonna keep on lovin' Ruth ooh ooh ooh ooh |
