This song is about Ruby Bridges, who in 1960, aged 6, became the first African-American child to be allowed to go to her local school.
A little bitty girl left out cos she’s not white
A little bitty girl she was really up for the fight
So 4 big fed men took her there and home at night
A little bitty girl left out cos she’s not white
A little bitty girl she was really up for the fight
So 4 big fed men took her there and home at night
She wanna go to school
She wanna go to school
She wanna go to school
She wanna go to school
She wanna go to school
She wanna go to school
(She’s no fool)
Rock on Ruby
Rock on Ruby hey hey
Rock on Ruby
Rock on Ruby okay
You gotta rock on Ruby
Be like Ruby today
A little bitty girl she always dared to dream
She had the right to learn she had the right to be set free
She was a pioneer back in nineteen sixty
A little bitty girl she always dared to dream
She had the right to learn she had the right to be set free
She was a pioneer back in nineteen sixty
Rock on Ruby
Rock on Ruby hey hey
Rock on Ruby
Rock on Ruby okay
You gotta rock on Ruby

Rock on Ruby
