Lyrics Along Came Ruth - The Film Musical Collection, Ирвинг Берлин

Along Came Ruth

I had girls by the score
Yes, a hundred or more
Each one as nice as could be It was hard to decide
Which I’d want for my bride
They all looked lovely to me While I was trying to choose one
I met a wonderful girl
She came tripping along
Like a beautiful song
Setting my brain in a whirl
I was growing very fond of Molly
When along came Ruth, along came Ruth
I thought an awful lot of Dolly
When Ruth came along
My head began to «Merry-go-round»
I almost married Polly
I was making love to May
When along came Ruth
And to tell the truth
She stole my heart away
There’s a right little girl
With the right little curl
For ev’ry right little boy
When she comes, you’ll forget
All the others you’ve met
Sorrow will turn into joy
She doesn’t have to be pretty
She doesn’t have to be wise
When she comes you will find
Tho’they say love is blind
She’ll make you open your eyes
