I said hello to the man that tried to win your hand
A long time ago.
I tried to smile as he talked of the days
When he was your beau,

But I could see he was a-shaminâ?? me
When he talked of his wealth and fame --
Ruby Ann took the hand of this poor, poor man,
Ainâ??t true love a funny thing?

Big man, you got money in your hand,
So what?
Youâ??re at a table for two, but still thereâ??s only you,
Big shot!
Well, your money canâ??t buy if your power canâ??t hold,
You canâ??t romance your fame --
