She’s My Left-Handed Girl

She’s coy but she’s funny

And her red hair likes to curl…

She sidesteps all my advances…

She’s my left-handed girl…


She eats her red beans and rice

With Tabasco hot sauce…

While she knows that I’m enamored

She has the figure of a dancer…

I would love to give her a twirl…

She sidesteps all my advances…

She’s my left-handed girl…


While she doesn’t really try

She looks perfect in her clothes…

Will she ever fall for a guy like me

Time will tell, but who knows…


While I know that she’s cautious…

Will her butterflies ever unfurl…

She sidesteps all my advances

She’s my left-handed girl…

She’d hit up friends and strangers for Budweiser beer (“for her duck”) and Kool cigarettes (“for later”). Ruthie became the subject of documentaries and a musi...
