SHINE ON RUBY MOUNTAIN
(Kenny Young)

as recorded by
Kenny Rogers & The First Edition


Shine on Ruby Mountain
From the valley to the sea,
Shine on Ruby Mountain,
Shine your sweet love down on me.

Ruby Mountain had the sunset
When my baby comes around.
I believe we've got a love nest
Anywhere we walk around!

I said shine on Ruby Mountain
From the valley to the sea,
Shine on Ruby Mountain,
Shine your sweet love down on me.

Ruby Mountain grow no flowers,
You don't even keep the snow,
But we lay and watch for hours
While we're watchin' our love grow.

I said shine on Ruby Mountain
From the valley to the sea,
Shine on Ruby Mountain,
Shine your sweet love down on me.

My my my my my my my,
Mornin' dew will shine on you,
Shine on you, shine on me!

Ruby Mountain lie there sleeping
While we greet the lazy dawn.
Tell nobody about our secret
Till our baby child is born.

I said shine on Ruby Mountain
From the valley to the sea,
Shine on Ruby Mountain,
Shine your sweet love down on me,
Down on me, down on me!

Shine on Ruby Mountain
From the valley to the sea,
Shine on Ruby Mountain,
Shine your sweet love down on me.

Shine on Ruby Mountain
From the valley to the sea,
Shine on Ruby Mountain,
Shine your sweet love down on me.
Shine on...
