Ruthless - 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

(whistle)

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
